    Understanding Neurodivergent Children: Dyslexia, ADHD, Learning Difficulties & the Mental Load of Parents With Emily Fogg | E273

    What if the behaviour you're seeing in your child isn't the problem, but a sign that they're struggling to learn in a way that works for their brain? In this important conversation, Ilana is joined by teacher and education specialist Emily Fogg to explore neurodivergence, dyslexia, ADHD, learning difficulties and the often invisible mental load carried by parents. Together, they unpack what happens when children don't receive the right support and how understanding the way a child's brain works can transform confidence, learning, emotional wellbeing and family life. What you'll hear in this episode: Why some children can slip through the cracks at school, even when they're clearly struggling, and what parents can look for when something doesn't feel quite right. The emotional journey parents can experience around diagnosis, grief, worry and uncertainty, and why having a plan can lift an enormous mental load. How understanding your child's individual learning style can change the way they see themselves, particularly when they've already started believing they're "bad" at reading, writing or maths. Why supporting a neurodivergent child is about much more than tutoring, including confidence, emotional regulation, self-efficacy and learning to advocate for themselves. What parents can do if they have a gut feeling their child needs extra support, including where to start and why you don't always need to wait for a formal diagnosis before taking action. This episode is a beautiful reminder that a child who learns differently isn't a child who is less capable. Sometimes they simply need someone to understand how their brain works and give them the right tools, language and support to thrive. And for the parents carrying the worry, the appointments, the school conversations and the constant question of "Am I doing enough?", this conversation offers reassurance that you don't have to navigate it all alone. 🎧 Listen to this important conversation with Emily Fogg at ilanak.com.au/podcast or on your favourite podcast app. Let's stay connected.

    Befriend Your Anxiety: Stop Letting Fear Drive Your Life | E272

    What if anxiety isn't something to fight… but something to befriend? In this insightful and compassionate conversation, Ilana is joined by one of Australia's leading anxiety and wellbeing experts, Dr. Jodi Richardson, to unpack why anxiety has become so common, particularly for women, and what we can do to support our mental wellbeing. Together, they explore the science behind anxiety, the invisible mental load many women carry, and practical strategies to help you move through life with greater calm, confidence, and self-compassion. What you'll hear in this episode: Why anxiety is a normal human emotion, when it becomes problematic, and the signs that it's time to seek extra support. How the mental load, hormones, perfectionism, people pleasing, and modern life contribute to anxiety, particularly for women. Practical tools and powerful metaphors to help you understand anxiety instead of fearing it, including why anxiety doesn't have to stay in the driver's seat. The connection between anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, depression, and nervous system health, and why understanding your body's signals is so important. Why seeking support is a sign of strength, and how simple, evidence-based strategies can help you build resilience and reclaim your wellbeing. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that anxiety is not a personal failure or something to feel ashamed of. With awareness, compassion, and the right support, it's possible to understand your anxiety, work alongside it, and continue moving towards the life you truly want to live. Whether you've experienced anxiety yourself, support someone who has, or simply want to better understand your mental health, this episode is filled with practical wisdom, hope, and reassurance.

When work is busy, the kids need you, your calendar is full or life suddenly goes sideways, the practices that support our wellbeing are often the first things to disappear. In this honest episode, Ilana shares a challenging week from her own life and explores why self-care, nervous system regulation, rest and white space matter most during the seasons when we feel like we have the least time for them. What you'll hear in this episode: Why waiting for the "right time" to prioritise yourself often means putting your wellbeing off indefinitely What a difficult week reminded Ilana about capacity, lowering expectations and supporting yourself when life doesn't go to plan The difference between micro and macro white space, and why we need both to support our energy and nervous system Why sustainable self-care isn't about creating a perfectly calm life, but learning how to include yourself in the life you're already living A simple reflection to uncover what you've been postponing until life "settles down" and what supporting yourself now could actually look like The goal isn't to make every hard week feel easy. It's to build the tools, rituals and support systems that help you move through real life without abandoning yourself in the process. If you've been telling yourself you'll rest, book the appointment, return to yoga, meditate or make time for yourself once things calm down, this episode is your reminder to stop waiting.  Listen to Episode 270 at ilanak.com.au/podcast or on your favourite podcast app. Let's stay connected.
