Calm Connection Parenting | Meltdowns, Emotional Dysregulation, ADHD, DMDD, SPD, Neurodivergent Child
Ranked in the top 5% of podcasts globally! Tired of walking on eggshells… dreading the next meltdown? Exhausted by big emotions and baffling behaviors? Wondering why “traditional advice” backfires in your home?
I’m glad you’re here. This podcast helps you understand what’s underneath the behavior, so you can respond with calm, stop second-guessing yourself, and build real connection with your neurodivergent or uniquely wired child.
Hi, I’m Jami… a mom of seven, professional counselor turned parenting coach, speaker, and author. And yes, even with training, I found myself stuck in the same cycle so many parents live in: meltdown… reaction… guilt… repeat. I was doing all the things that were “supposed” to work… but they didn’t.
Everything changed when I stopped treating behavior like the problem and started looking underneath it. When I learned to understand my child’s unique wiring (personality, sensory processing, executive functioning, and emotional needs), I finally had a roadmap. I didn’t need more tips… I needed clarity and a plan. And that clarity changed everything.
If you’re ready to ditch the overwhelm and stop parenting in survival mode, you’re in the right place. We’ll talk emotional dysregulation, defiance, ADHD, DMDD, anxiety, and more… along with practical steps that help your family move from chaos to calm… one episode at a time.
So grab your coffee, find your quiet spot (if you have one), and let’s jump in.
