How can parents, teachers, and communities better support neurodivergent children? How do autistic and ADHD individuals experience the world? Each week, we explore these questions with practical strategies, emotional insight, and real stories. I’m Greer — a mum of two boys (and two dogs!) raising a child with special educational needs (SEN) alongside my husband. Our daily life looks different from the norm, but it’s full of love, advocacy, and growth. I started this podcast to create a space for parents of neurodivergent kids, educators, and allies to learn, connect, and build understanding together. You’ll hear parenting tips, advocacy guidance, sensory strategies, and personal reflections that shine a light on both the joys and challenges of neurodivergent parenting. Through heartfelt solo episodes and guest interviews, we’ll talk about EHCP or IEP processes, school support, emotional regulation, and the big feelings that come with raising ND kids. Whether you’re here as a parent of an autistic or ADHD child, a late-diagnosed adult, a teacher seeking insight, or someone wanting to understand the neurodivergent world,…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T22:18:52.818817+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757"},"episode":{"title":"ADHD Budgeting That Actually Works (Without Shame) — with Jules the Budget Nerd","slug":"adhd-budgeting-that-actually-works-without-shame-with-jules-the-budget-nerd","published_at":"2026-01-15T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757/adhd-budgeting-that-actually-works-without-shame-with-jules-the-budget-nerd","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757","url":"https://mgln.ai/e/424/traffic.megaphone.fm/TSF6705463380.mp3?updated=1768481496","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/424/traffic.megaphone.fm/TSF6705463380.mp3?updated=1768481496","summary":"Ever feel like you’ll “deal with it later”… and then later never comes? In this episode, Jules (aka Jules the Budget Nerd) and I talk about what money looks like with an ADHD brain—impulse spending, shame spirals, and why “perfect budgeting” can actually make things worse. And yes… we also talk about budgeting as self-care (even if you hate that phrase). Jules is a budgeting coach who helps people get out of debt with practical systems that don’t rely on rigid spreadsheets or unrealistic willpower. She shares her own story—knowing the “right” money rules, still ending up in a runaway debt train, and the guilt of feeling like she should be doing better. In our conversation, we chat about: Why ADHD + credit cards can turn into a “later” problem that keeps growing Letting your budget flex by season (debt payoff season, saving season, trip season) How to stop trying to do everything at once—because it’s exhausting and it backfires “Fun money” as a permission slip (and a relationship-saver) ADHD-friendly systems that reduce decision fatigue (hello grocery pickup + fewer temptations) A simple way to model money habits for kids: talk about money, set a store goal, and play “would you rather” If you’re a neurodivergent mama (or raising a neurodivergent kid) and money feels like one more place you’re “failing”… this episode will feel like a deep exhale—and a reset you can actually follow through on.
