In this episode, neurodivergent advocate, educator, and founder of My Spirited Child and the National PEKE Centre, Rebecca Challoner, joins Peta to explore what it really means to live and parent, with ADHD.
Rebecca shares her journey from discovering her own diagnosis after her children’s, to founding two groundbreaking organisations built on neurodivergent-affirming principles. She unpacks the myths surrounding ADHD, how stigma still shapes everyday experiences, and why traditional “discipline” doesn’t work for neurodivergent kids.
