We have had so many guests on this show, talk about how powerful the outdoors can be for kids, especially kids with ADHD or different ways of learning and processing the world. And if you are raising a child with ADHD dyslexia, a language disorder, or really any kind of learning difference, I want to share a podcast that I think you'll really appreciate. It's called Everyone Gets a Juice Box. It's parents just being honest with each other in a really safe, welcoming space about the highs and lows of raising neurodivergent kids. And what I love about it is is how real it is. There was one story about a mom who had this big career, running a major podcast division, and she realized she hadn't been home to see her daughter before bed for weeks. And at the same time, she was starting to notice these little moments, like her daughter freezing up during a simple preschool performance and just having that gut feeling like

something's different here and then all the doubt that comes with that like other people saying she

seems fine well you're sitting here thinking but i'm her parent and i know her this mom eventually

stepped back in and reconnected and created little games together just to help her daughter communicate

better it's such a good reminder that connection doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be intentional. So if that interests you, go check it out.

the life that we're in and the author, Fortessa Latifie is here. Forteza, what a book. Welcome.

Oh my God. That just gave me like so much dopamine. Thank you. I loved it. I did like this is such a

complex topic. It is. And that is what you get out of the book,

is there really are no easy answers here, although it's definitely something that we should be

talking about. So I would love it if you could kick us off with the history here. So I grew up

in the 80s and the 90s, and then in the early 2000s, the world changes. Obviously,

the internet changes the world, but this is really

talking about mom bloggers. And I did not know, For Tessa, that for a very long time, the sort

of parts of motherhood that are a little more, I guess people call them risque, I don't even

know. Like, I didn't even know. People weren't talking about breastfeeding.

They weren't talking about getting sewn up after birth. These were kind of taboo topics.

And mom bloggers opened to the door for all of these discussions. Yeah, totally. They burst
