About the show

We come to parenting with all the patterns we learned in our own childhood. Together in this podcast, we uncover the roots of our reactivity and grow in education, capacity, awareness, and skills so we will be able to respond vs. react to our strong-willed children. The beauty of this process is as you become a ResponseAble Parent, the "misbehavior" of your children will lessen, the yelling will fall away and a new level of companionship and cooperation will take its place. Welcome to the journey of ResponseAble Parenting. Take a deep breath in, slow exhale out, and let's get to work.

171: To reward or not to reward your ADHD kid?

Nov 9, 2026 25 min

In this episode I break down the fears we all have about giving our ADHD kids REWARDS for their behavior. I share WHY rewards help to motivate your ADHD child, but HOW to use them more effectively and strategically. This will answer the bribery questions, the "will I reward my child forever" question, and will my child only do things if I give them stuff question. :) 🚨FIRST EVER ADHD BEHAVIOR BLUEPRINT 🚨LIVE EVENT IS HAPPENING!!🚨 You're having the same power struggle over the tasks that HAVE to get done. Homework, teeth brushing, putting ONE piece of clothing away, bedtime… heaven forbid you ALSO ask that they speak kindly during this process. 🤯 The level of overwhelm, dysregulation, and frustration you're living with day to day is real and it's unfair. 🙅🏼‍♀️This is NOT what you pictured parenting to look like, and this version of you as a parent, is not aligning with your values. You want to be a kind, accepting, patient person but you end up snapping or getting into your ADHD kid's feelings with them. 🎉But that all changes now! 🎉 You're going to be able to stop walking on eggshells, stop feeling utterly defeated and like you're making all the wrong choices, and ACTUALLY KNOW how you and your child can get through both transitions and all the everyday "must do tasks" without yet another fight! AND, you don't need to repeat yourself to the point of yelling! Imagine feeling grounded and proud of yourself for navigating the day with regulation instead of multiple yelling matches. There are many ADHD strategies out there, but after working exclusively with severe high conflict families, I've filtered out what doesn't work for ADHD kids (*cough gentle parenting) and combined my education, research & lived experience into the core A.B.L.E. Method. You do not need to have the same battle every day. It starts with regulation, a plan, some practice reps, and a lot of reinforcement. Not sure how that looks in real life? Don't worry! I've got your b...

170: My ADHD son tells all!!!

Nov 2, 2026 32 min

I asked my son to do something that at this point shouldn't be a battle at all. But it was. I asked my son to brush his teeth before bed. I know I know, what a terrible mom! As soon as I asked, his refusal kicked on, his silliness increased, he was delaying, delaying, delaying. I was able to talk to him after the power struggle and in fact audio recorded so I could hear him and learn what was getting in his way. HE SPILLED THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS! And I'm sharing them with you!! Get ready to understand your kids like never before! I am breaking down each sentence and the peer reviewed studies that back up everything he is saying!!! It's wild and so so important to know! 🚨FIRST EVER ADHD BEHAVIOR BLUEPRINT 🚨LIVE EVENT IS HAPPENING!!🚨 You're having the same power struggle over the tasks that HAVE to get done.

169: Is this stopping you from loving your ADHD child unconditionally?

Oct 26, 2026 21 min

Part of parenting an ADHD child is that the volume of challenges can really chip away at the well of unconditional love. And you wake up one day realizing there is a long list of conditions that your child has to meet in order to feel that unconditional energy. I don't say this as criticism. I say this as having experienced it and knowing how gutting that feeling can be. In this episode I share a mindset and schedule shift that needs to happen in order to shift that trajectory towards the positive and away from the what feels like inevitable divided relationship. 🎉STOP YELLING!

A client told me this week "I wish someone could fix me so I could fix my son." It broke my heart. I knew exactly what she meant. And I wanted to share something with everyone in this community.

167: The Good Girl Grew Up and Now She's Yelling

Oct 12, 2026 37 min

Rage is getting louder. Rage is feeling more ever present in the world of women in their 40s. And rage is influencing our parenting and our relationships. Rage is a key indicator of perimenopause. And when we are in perimenopause our estrogen is fluctuating causing us to have less of an ability to buffer hard emotions and manage negative feelings. In this episode I share how complex this moment can be for us as mothers to ADHD children and the ONE strategy that we will do together as a tribe of mothers to support ourselves. Not so we can support the rest of the family at a level of perfection that we've been striving for that cannot be attained…Rather so we can pull the roots of perfectionism out of our lives and free ourselves from this anger, rage, shame cycle we find ourselves in more and more often. 🎉STOP YELLING!

165: Does your ADHD child lash out physically?

Sep 28, 2026 37 min

In this episode I share the findings from 4 studies that look at the physical aggression of ADHD children. I connect the dots from these studies to what is likely happening in your home with your ADHD child when they are frustrated, have been told no, or are being asked to transition. The data suggests that 78.9% of the people who will listen to this podcast have experienced some form of child to parent violence during a moment of dysregulation. That means you are most certainly not alone. My hope in this episode is to share a bigger picture about what is happening for your child as well as proven strategies that will support YOU in the moment as well as strategies that will begin to develop the lagging skills so these moments are no longer common occurrences in your home.

164: Your anticipation of the fight with your ADHD kid, is likely causing the exact fight you don't want!

Sep 21, 2026 28 min

Over the past week so many parents shared with me that managing their child's mood was like walking on eggshells. They were constantly scanning for things that would trigger their child or set them off. And they'd try to avoid it but all the strategies used seemed to intensify the moment or backfire completely. In this week's episode I talk about that anticipatory anxiety and how our nervous system's survival strategy is failing us. And I give you steps on how to rebuild that predictability so both you and your child come to these triggering moments in a different way. I give you an example from my own home around the Chrome Book (something my son wants more of and I want less of) and how we were able to rebuild this high conflict moment into something that is collaborative and calm. 🎉STOP YELLING!

I'm no stranger to a lecture. In fact, that's all my body knows as a solution for high conflict. That's all my dad did and I'm drawn to that as the solution to the hard moments with my ADHD kid.

This was a HUGE ah ha moment for me and my ADHD son this summer. We've been in this pattern for as long as he's been able to talk. I ask him to do something, he tells me what he's doing instead. This has led to us BOTH being very reactive and triggered and it's been one pattern I haven't been able to crack. UNTIL NOW!

157: Why so many high-achieving moms feel exhausted with Dr. Anne Welsh

Aug 3, 2026 36 min

Get ready for an amazing conversation with Dr. Anne Welsh, a psychologist, executive coach, working mother, and the author of the upcoming book, Ambitious Mother: From Surviving to Thriving in Your Career and at Home (Bloomsbury, 8/6/26). As a mother who has navigated the demands of career ambition alongside parenting, she understands the invisible pressure many women feel to succeed at work while being fully present at home, often at the cost of their own well-being. Through Ambitious Mother, Dr. Welsh challenges the myth that mothers must choose between success and sanity. She offers a compassionate, research-backed roadmap to help women redefine ambition in ways that support both their families and themselves. In this episode we talk about the mental load that leaves many high achieving moms exhausted and what to do about it. We talk about perfectionism as well as how to model healthy ambition to our kiddos. 🎉STOP YELLING!

155: Does your ADHD kid think they're "the bad kid?" And do you agree?

Jul 20, 2026 30 min

In this emotional episode I share a deeply pivotal moment in my son's ADHD journey. This is the episode for every parent who's said the unplanned, unfiltered thing and immediately hated themselves for it. What happens in our body before that moment, and why it keeps happening. When we hear "I hate you." or "you're the worst parent." These things come out of tiny mouths during dysregulation and how it hits us like a ton of bricks. I share how this happened to me over the weekend and I break down what I did in response. Not perfectly, but how I helped myself and my son through this really hard moment. My son told me this and I've never forgotten it: I keep escalating until somebody joins me in the fight, because then I'm not the only one doing the bad thing. This episode is about why the practice matters. Even when it feels like nothing is working, why it matters so much and how it gives our kids a voice they've never been able to access. 🎉STOP YELLING!

153: Why is it so hard to say YES to your ADHD kid?

Jul 6, 2026 15 min

This past weekend we had experienced several bumpy moments with my ADHD son. Things that we had been working on that weren't clicking the way I had hoped. Then we had a decent chunk of time where things were going WELL! It was fun, we were enjoying each other and I could see his effort. Then he started asking for some extra things. Nothing crazy, literally an extra scoop of ice cream and some sprinkles. And I could FEEL my body want to grab the "no" and stay there. I felt an instant resistance to saying yes. This episode dives into WHY I believe this was happening. I also share how I shifted my mindset and how I moved forward after recognizing this resistance. 🎉STOP YELLING!

152: If my ADHD kid is like this now…what will they be like at 18?!

Jun 29, 2026 23 min

This week I spoke to over a dozen parents. Every single one said a version of this "If they're like this now…what will they be like as a teenager? As an adult?" This fear is REAL for parents of ADHD kids. We want to know we've given them everything they need to be successful. Will they take no for an answer or take it too far? Will they be able to handle rejection or criticism? Will they be able to handle the responsibilities of a job? This is the episode about what fear is actually doing to us and how it's changing our reactions. And I give you the first step to reverse engineer these fears into skills! 🎉STOP YELLING!

150: Why is my ADHD kid MEAN!?

Jun 15, 2026 31 min

Have you noticed that when your ADHD kid is dysregulated it comes out as being plain nasty?! For lack of a better word, they turn into a total a*****e! New EEG research shows that 96% of hyperactive-impulsive ADHD kids have a significant difference in frontal lobe activity during frustrating moments. And the net result is anger and aggression. Of that 96%, 63% is severe. This is important to note, because in neurotypical children, this outcome is 12%. This tells us it's less a behavior choice and more of a wiring reality. To me, this is empowering. Because now we know more and we can do more with this information. Inside this episode I share some critical mindset shifts as well as practical ways we can start to move the needle forward.

Jun 8, 2026 49 min

Tim Shurr specializes in rapid mindset transformation for individuals facing ongoing stress and emotional triggers. Over 36 years, Tim has facilitated more than 16,000 belief transformation sessions, working with Fortune 500 execs and top performers to rewire the unconscious patterns that drive 95% of our behaviors. His One Belief Away Method reliably creates fast, lasting shifts that most expect only after years of therapy. Tim has the ability to locate and upgrade the unconscious belief that creates those patterns in the first place. Instead of teaching people to cope, reframe, or try harder, he retrains the mental operating system with new rules that allow the nervous system to stand down, which is why change happens faster, feels easier, and actually lasts. By updating a single belief, calm, confidence, and consistent action instantly become natural rather than forced. His style is practical, fast, and highly effective. Tim shares his cutting-edge tools for mastering your life. He has been endorsed by icons such as Bob Proctor, Dr. Denis Waitley, Les Brown, John Assaraf, Ken Blanchard, Brian Tracy, Seth Godin, Dr. Bernie Siegel, and more.

139: How to stop taking 2 steps back with your ADHD kid

Mar 30, 2026 30 min

Does it feel like you're always taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back? Maybe 2 steps is generous and it feels more like 50 steps back. This is that feeling where you've "tried everything" and nothing seems to make any difference. In this week's podcast episode I share how we took a pretty big step backwards and how I am using my 8 step process to re-evaluate and get back on track even stronger than before. These moments can derail us, but when we have a process to work from, we can eliminate a lot of the emotional burden and actually make meaningful progress.

132: Parenting amidst America's chaos

Feb 9, 2026 21 min

It feels impossible to know what to do as an American mother in the early months of 2026. Nothing about this is normal. Nothing. I do not claim to be an expert on politics. I acknowledge that as a white woman, I've inherited a level of privilege that many have not. And I do not pretend to know all the levels deep and the immense complexities others are facing on a daily basis. And, this is a moment in history that will affect every single person. In this episode I share my views on how to support yourself so you can support your children. How you can harness your emotions and take action in alignment with your values. My hope is that this conversation provides helpful steps to take so you are not feeling like you're stuck on the spin cycle of headlines and chaos. My hope is that you don't feel like you're floating alone in all that is unfolding. 🎉REWIRE with ResponseABLE Parenting🎉 Put an end to the exhausting patterns you find yourself in day in and day out with your kids.

131: I exploded during summer camp registration

Feb 2, 2026 28 min

In this episode I share 2 very specific moments in my parenting that I saw how external influences changed my internal state. And how when that was triggered, it pushed me right into a predictable pattern of reactivity. This experience showed me once again how important our internal health, sense of safety, and ability to regulate truly is because our emotional state transforms how we interact and react to the external. It can be so strong it makes us believe false realities that can keep us stuck in miserable, makes us react to false narratives false and storylines that we not only react to but end up believing and in living into. 🎉REWIRE with ResponseABLE Parenting🎉 Put an end to the exhausting patterns you find yourself in day in and day out with your kids.

129: We miss the ROOT of the problem our RUSH to solve it

Jan 19, 2026 27 min

I noticed over the break the rush to solve something I didn't like seeing with my kids. A quick conversation after being pulled into another room, a fast directive at the dinner table, etc. However, in that rush, I noticed my dysregulation didn't go away, in fact, it amplified as the guilt of not doing it the way I wanted to the first time started to creep in. In this episode I talk about how my 4 step neural rewiring process works in specific situations. I share what each step looks like in the moment as well as how we can (once we're confidently applying it ourselves) begin to help our children through the same process.
