A podcast for parents, by parents. Join hosts L & E (a music therapist & music teacher, as well as their full-time job as parents) as they discuss the beautiful, complex, and frequently hilarious world of raising children who are neurodivergent. Learn & grow with them as they share their personal experiences, interview professionals, & swap wisdom with other parents. Resources & research included.
We have reached the end of season 1, friends. So let’s talk about something fun…VISUAL AIDS!
L identifies as an awkward transition. So let’s talk about the elephant in the room. We need a break, so we are taking one until late fall. This will allow us to get our ducks in a row, research, find guests, and bring you the episodes we want to bring.
Join us back in the late fall for the start of season 2. In the meantime, please rate and subscribe to us on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Or share us with a friend.
