Ranked in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally! Tired of walking on eggshells… dreading the next meltdown? Exhausted by big emotions. defiance, and disobediance? Wondering why “traditional" parenting advice backfires with your strong-willed child?

I’m glad you’re here. This podcast helps you understand what’s behind your child's 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 things.

If you’re ready to ditch the overwhelm and stop parenting in survival mode, you’re in the right place. We’ll talk meltdowns, 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.

  • 5 Things Moms of Neurodivergent Kids Need More Of-- Nothing at Home Changed… But Something in Us Did

    5 Things Moms of Neurodivergent Kids Need More Of-- Nothing at Home Changed… But Something in Us Did
    2026/09/02

    Parenting a neurodivergent or high-needs child can leave moms carrying more than anyone else realizes. The exhaustion, advocacy, grief, worry, and constant need to stay one step ahead can become so normal that we forget how heavy it really is.

    After the very first Calm Connection Moms Retreat in Loveland, Colorado, I came home reflecting on what happened when a group of moms raising children with big emotions, neurodivergence, and mental health challenges finally had space to rest, connect, laugh, cry, and be understood.

    In this episode of Calm Connection Parenting, we talk about five important things moms of neurodivergent kids may need more of, not because all the hard things suddenly disappear, but because sometimes the support we receive changes how we walk back into them.

    You’ll hear about:

    • Why constantly staying strong may be costing you more than you realize
    • What can happen when moms finally have space to acknowledge what they’ve been carrying
    • Why feeling understood can be more powerful than receiving another piece of advice
    • How one small shift in support, rest, or connection can help you return to the same life differently

    Nothing at home may change overnight. But with the right support, something in you can.

    Listen in and then choose one thing you need more of this week—and one small next step toward finding it.

  • 7 Tips for When School Starts Getting Hard: Back-to-School Stress, Meltdowns and Anxiety in Neurodivergent, DMDD, or ASD Kids

    7 Tips for When School Starts Getting Hard: Back-to-School Stress, Meltdowns and Anxiety in Neurodivergent, DMDD, or ASD Kids
    2026/08/26

    In this episode of Calm Connection Parenting, we discuss how to move out of panic and into curiosity when the first few weeks of school start getting harder. You’ll learn how to gather better information, listen without rushing to fix, and decide when it may be time to involve the school.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Why the first days of school can sometimes look easier than the weeks that follow
    • How to spot patterns that may point to stress, overwhelm, or a more specific struggle
    • Simple ways to help your child open up without feeling judged, pressured, or immediately “fixed”
    • How to know when it may be time to move from listening and observing into calm, thoughtful advocacy

    If your child is dealing with back-to-school anxiety, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, autism, sensory overwhelm, homework battles, or after-school meltdowns, this episode will help you approach the struggle with more clarity, connection, and confidence.

    Instead of assuming, “Here we go again,” you may discover that your child is simply giving you new information—and that information can help you decide what support comes next.

  • Back-to-School Help for Kids with DMDD, ADHD, Autism and Emotional Dysregulation: Set Your Child Up for Success

    Back-to-School Help for Kids with DMDD, ADHD, Autism and Emotional Dysregulation: Set Your Child Up for Success
    2026/08/18

    Back-to-school can be exciting, but for kids with ADHD, autism, anxiety, sensory needs, executive functioning challenges, or emotional dysregulation, the transition can also bring overwhelm, meltdowns, exhaustion, and big emotions.

    In this episode we talk about practical ways to help neurodivergent kids adjust to school routines, reduce after-school dysregulation, prepare for common trouble spots, and build stronger communication with teachers from the start.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Recognize when back-to-school behavior may actually be overwhelm or nervous system overload.
    • Reduce unnecessary demands while your child adjusts to a new schedule and environment.
    • Support executive functioning with simple routines, visual tools, and predictable systems.
    • Protect after-school decompression time to help prevent meltdowns and emotional explosions.
    • Identify common trouble spots before they become daily battles.
    • Communicate proactively with your child’s teacher in a positive, collaborative way.
    • Watch patterns, gather information, and respond with curiosity instead of panic.

    Jami also shares a printable teacher information form you can complete and give to your child’s teacher to highlight strengths, sensory needs, triggers, helpful supports, and important information that can help the school better understand your child.

    A difficult first week does not mean you are headed for a difficult year. With a little preparation, realistic expectations, and the right supports, you can help your child begin the school year with more calm, connection, and confidence.

    Listen now and start setting your child, and yourself, up for a stronger back-to-school transition.
