Tune In: Bond to Bloom

Heavy Work, Gentle Hearts with Alli Bongianni | EP2

Nicole Jensen

Where tender hearts meet mindful hands. In today’s episode of Tune In: Bond to Bloom, Nicole welcomes her long-time friend Alli Bongianni to talk about the messy, meaningful journey of raising emotionally sensitive kids. Alli opens up about navigating ADHD as a family, what her children taught her about slowing down, and how grief shaped her parenting. You’ll hear about small rituals that soothe big emotions, the power of self-awareness, and why connection matters more than correction. If you're a parent learning to tune in rather than just react, this one's for you.

She works with children and families to build emotional resilience, integrate nervous system tools, and foster deeper connection through sensory-based support. Known for her bright spirit and grounded wisdom, Alli brings a refreshingly real voice to parenting and therapy, one rooted in empathy, intention, and playful practicality.
