Summary
Episode 72 with Elaine Taylor-Klaus.
"When kids are diagnosed with ADHD, there’s an underlying belief that you just need to discipline them better. That stigma doesn’t exist with other learning disabilities."
Author, parent educator & certified coach, Elaine is the co-creator of ImpactParents and the Sanity School® behavior therapy training program. She is also the author of “The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.”
Elaine provides training, coaching, and support worldwide, empowering parents to guide their children, teens, and young adults to become independent and successful.
We talk about our own experiences with academic expectations growing up and how to break old habits and patterns as parents to neurodivergent kids. And we also talk about the coach approach and the importance of shifting our expectations of ourselves (without lowering them) as successful women and as parents.

| 0:05.2 | than they do for everyone else? Do you struggle with motivation even for the things you actually want to do? |
| 0:10.6 | Are you exhausted even though it feels like you're not getting anything done? If you're nodding along, |

| 1:12.6 | at choice and possibility. And it was like it wasn't saying you're broken, let's fix you. It was |
| 1:18.8 | saying, you're phenomenal. What do you want to do? How do you want to get? Like, it was just |
| 1:23.3 | everything I needed. And it quickly became very clear that it was everything my kids needed. |
| 1:32.8 | Hello and welcome to the women and ADHD podcast. I'm your host, Katie Weber. I was diagnosed |
| 1:39.2 | with ADHD at the age of 45 and it completely turned my world upside down. I've been looking back at so |
| 1:46.3 | much of my life, school, jobs, my relationships, all of it with this new lens, and it has been |
| 1:53.4 | nothing short of overwhelming. I quickly discovered I was not the only woman to have this |
