Welcome to The Empowered Parent Podcast. This podcast is a space for parents to learn, reflect, and grow. Each week, we explore topics that help parents understand themselves and their children more deeply - from communication and connection, to supporting neurodivergent development at home and in the community. We’ve had wonderful conversations with experts, parents, and professionals - including speakers from the Neurodivergence Wellbeing Conference, and a special series following one mum’s journey in unschooling her child. Every episode is here to inspire curiosity, compassion, and confidence in your parenting journey. Don’t forget to follow along, share your reflections, and join the conversation. You can connect with me at danabaltutis.com or mytherapyhouse.com.au . Let’s celebrate neurodivergence. Let’s celebrate belonging.
