    Season 2 Episode 7: How Understanding Zoe Is Transforming Support for Neurodivergent Children

    You’ve just been handed a life-changing diagnosis for your child — now what?  For many parents of neurodivergent children, the moment of diagnosis brings more questions than answers. Overwhelmed by clinical reports, disconnected from support systems, and expected to become instant experts — the emotional toll is immense.  In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I sit down with Laetitia Andrac, CEO and Co-Founder of Understanding Zoe — a revolutionary neuroaffirming platform changing the way we support neurodivergent children.    KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS  Diagnosis is only the beginning – families are often left without clear next steps. Neurodivergence is broader than you think – it includes autism, ADHD, PDA, and more. Personalisation over prescription – every child’s needs and responses are different. Parents need support too – especially when navigating their own neurodivergence. Tech with heart can change lives – how Understanding Zoe brings clarity and connection.   SHOW RESOURCES  Understanding Zoe website https://understandingzoe.com/  Follow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/understanding.zoe  Connect with Laetitia Andrac on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/laetitiaandrac/  Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 Unexpected hurdles interrupt all of our lives.

    Season 2 Episode 5: Pauline Romao, Bodhi Holistic Hub – Redefining Trust in Holistic Healing

    Are you skeptical about holistic care?  In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, Teisha sits down with Pauline Romao, founder of Bodhi Holistic Hub, to unpack what holistic healing really involves — and why it’s often misunderstood.    Pauline shares how skin and digestive issues led her to explore natural therapies that finally got to the root of what was going on. Drawing from her studies in Hygienism and Iridology, time with Indigenous communities, and her tech background, she explains why access and trust are still missing in holistic care — and how she’s working to change that.    If you’ve ever wondered whether holistic health has a place alongside conventional care, this episode offers a thoughtful, practical entry point.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  Symptoms aren’t always problems — they might be your body’s way of healing. We’ve lost everyday health wisdom — but we can relearn it. Trust matters in holistic care — and it's still missing in many spaces. You don’t have to choose between medical and holistic healing. Healing starts when you stay curious, not when you have all the answers.   SHOW RESOURCES  Explore Bodhi Holistic Hub: https://www.bodhiholistichub.com/Take the Practitioner Matching Quiz:  bodhiholistichub.com/quizFollow Pauline on Instagram: @bodhiholistichub   ABOUT THE GUEST  Pauline Romao is the founder of Bodhi Holistic Hub — a platform connecting people with verified holistic health practitioners across 70+ specialties. With a background in tech and studies in Hygienism and Iridology, she’s passionate about making holistic care more accessible, trusted, and better integrated with conventional medicine. Her time volunteering with Indigenous communities deepened her belief that healing needs to go beyond symptoms and reconnect with the wisdom of the whole person.      Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 Unexpected hurdles interrupt all of our lives.
