Neurodivergent Family Life & Thriving as a Neurodivergent Parent | Madeleine Woolgar | Ep. 20

In this powerful episode of The Visible(ish)™ Podcast, host Melissa Howard speaks with ADHD expert and neurodiversity consultant Madeleine Woolgar about building a business while raising neurodivergent children. 

Madeleine shares her journey from working directly with children to supporting parents worldwide, especially during the challenging pandemic pivot that forced her to rebuild 75% of her business overnight.

Discover practical strategies for understanding your neurodivergent child's needs, creating a communication-friendly home environment, and designing a business that works with your unique brain wiring rather than against it. 

Madeleine offers invaluable insights on balancing entrepreneurship with parenting, finding joy in the journey, and giving yourself permission to work differently in both business and family life.
