  • Attunement, Play and Making a Mess with Rebekah Marler
    In this episode of the Complicated Kids Podcast, I talk with Rebekah Marler, a former school principal and current parent to a neurodivergent child, about how her experience challenged everything she thought she knew about development and learning. She shares how traditional milestone-based approaches failed her son and how discovering practices like floor time and Anji Play helped her reconnect with joy, regulation, and intuition. We explore the process of unlearning “educator brain,” the importance of co-regulation, and how her family transformed their North Carolina backyard into a self-directed play haven—mud pits and all—reminding us that real growth often starts with play.   To find out more about Rebekah, visit her website at www.playshire.org.

  • Preparing for College with Matt Douglas
    Teen and young adult mentor, Matt Douglas, joined me on this episode of the Complicated Kids Podcast for a deep dive into the “other” end of the parenting spectrum—college applications, executive function, and the tricky transition from high school to young adulthood. We talk about how neurodivergent teens—those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or learning differences—face added layers of complexity in the college process, and how parents can support without overstepping.   To find out more about Matt, visit www.unlockingcollegeadmissions.com or check out his book at https://a.co/d/a5pPgGl.

  • Everything Makes Sense with The Occuplaytional Therapist with Kelsie Olds
    In this episode of The Complicated Kids Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible occupational therapist Kelsie Olds for a deep and lively conversation about what it really means when we say "everything everybody does makes sense." Kelsie brings her global OT experience—from the U.S. to the U.K. to her new adventure in Australia—and a refreshingly human-centered approach to child development. We dig into what “behavior” really tells us, why labels like “aggressive” or “bad” aren’t helpful, and how curiosity, specificity, and compassion can transform the way we understand and support kids—especially our more complicated ones.   To find out more about Kelsie, visit her website at www.occuplaytional.com.

  • Autistic Masking with Jenn Glacel
    In this episode of the Complicated Kids Podcast, I’m joined once again by the brilliant Jenn Glacel to talk about the often misunderstood concept of masking, particularly in autistic folks. We dig into the unconscious ways masking shows up as a survival response, how it begins in infancy, and how it can shape a child’s (and adult’s!) sense of self. Jenn shares her personal experience of exhaustion and discovery, and we explore what it means to unmask and reconnect with the body’s sensory experience.   To find out more about Jenn, visit her website at SevenCornersPsychotherapy.com.
