    Ep. 66 - None of This is Your Fault! (Shame and Parenting a PDA Child or Teen)

    Ep. 66 - None of This is Your Fault! (Shame and Parenting a PDA Child or Teen)

    In my work with hundreds of families one thing I see often is that parents are wrongly made to feel shame for their parenting by well-meaning but shortsighted "experts." In this episode of the podcast I debunk the arguments and "evidence" that these experts use and show that none of us need to feel ashamed of the herculean parenting we're doing.
    Are you ready to dive deeper with me, my team and a cohort of other understanding families facing the same challenges you do? If so, I recommend joining the waitlist to get early access for enrollment in the next Paradigm Shift Program. (Last enrollment every spot filled.)

    Or if you're not sure if your child is PDA, you might find my FREE Clarity Masterclass, as I designed it to help you determine if your child fits the PDA profile: https://www.atpeaceparents.com/clarity

    Ep. 65 - What is it like to grow up as an internalized PDAer?

    Ep. 65 - What is it like to grow up as an internalized PDAer?

    This episode is a MUST listen! Kendahl Damashek, a gifted PDAer and parent coach with At Peace Parents, walks us through her experience as a PDA child and young adult. With vulnerability and courage, Kendahl shares her experience with burnout in her college years and her story of how she learned to balance raising four PDA children and her own access needs.
    I am grateful that I get to work with Kendahl every day as a member of the At Peace Parents team. She shares her wisdom in the online community of the Paradigm Shift Program (https://www.atpeaceparents.com/paradigm-shift-program) which she helps moderate - she actually told her story in a private session of the PSP, but it was too good for me not to share more broadly - and in one-on-one coaching with families, many of whom come to her for her personal experience being 2E (twice exceptional - gifted and PDA) and raising 2E children.
    You can learn more about her and her coaching services at https://www.atpeaceparents.com/kendahl-private-coaching-1

Life changing

When I heard Casey talking about PDA finally felt seen and validated. Her honesty is appreciated. This is a place where you feel you won’t be judged. I have been learning about autism and 2e but there was always a piece missing, it was PDA. Learning about equalizing has been life changing. Desde el fondo de mi corazón mil gracias.
