For parents and carers who love their kids but feel completely overwhelmed sometimes.


Welcome to The Untypical Parent™ Podcast, a place for parents in neurodivergent, SEN and additional needs families. Here we talk about the messy and the sparkles, share ideas you can actually use, and give you space to take what might work and leave what doesn't.


Hosted by me, Liz Evans — The Untypical OT, a dyslexic, solo parent in a neurodiverse family, this show explores everything from parenting through parental burnout and sensory needs to dyslexia, ADHD, and chronic illness. You’ll hear from experts and parents alike, sharing tips and stories to help you create a family life that works for you, because every family is unique and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to families.


If you’ve ever felt that “typical” parenting advice doesn’t fit your world, this is your place for connection, practical tools, and encouragement without the judgment.


Welcome to your backup team. We've been expecting you.

    Quietening the "This Is How You Parent" Noise with Eliza Fricker

    Parenting when your child hasn't got the memo that everyone expects them to do things a certain way isn't just hard... it's really hard.

    Author and illustrator Eliza Fricker joins me on The Untypical Parent Podcast to talk about what happens when "traditional" parenting advice simply doesn't work for your family.

    So much of what Eliza shared resonated with me as a parent. We talk about meetings that we have to attend that just feel ridculous, knowing there wasn't a coffee morning for parents like her, how she found herself questioning her own instincts, and the moment she decided she was going to start drawing the reality of what families like hers were living through.

    I know we aren't the only parents to feel like this.

  • The Art of Understanding My AuDHD Self: with David Kirkman

    The Art of Understanding My AuDHD Self: with David Kirkman
    2026/07/14

    Enjoyed the episode, got a suggestion or a question send me a text

    Introducing David Kirkman. A late-diagnosed AuDHDer, parent and artist who loves a round of golf.

    As only you might expect with two neurodivergent brains, our conversation takes a wonderful meandering approach, and we cover so much. From David's beginning to understand his big emotions as a child, to discovering his diagnosis later in life. We talked about David’s art and what that means to David. We might have also got completely lost in the middle of what we were talking about, but that’s real life so after a good laugh it made the cut and stayed in the episode.

    We are about mental health, men's mental health, I could go on. If you’re a parent, there is so much to relate to in here. As with all my guests, David talks openly and honestly about what it is like to be neurodivergent and a parent. I am grateful for his time and the conversation.

    If you would like to connect with David you can find him here.

  • When the Unthinkable Happens: Life After Child Bereavement

    When the Unthinkable Happens: Life After Child Bereavement
    2026/07/07
    Enjoyed the episode, got a suggestion or a question send me a textWhen the Unthinkable Happens: Life After Child BereavementContent note: This episode discusses child bereavement and childhood cancer. Please listen gently and take care of yourself, or choose to come back another day.I was worried about this episode.Worried I'd say the wrong thing. Worried I'd upset Nici. Worried I wouldn't do Nici, her family and Charlie the justice they deserve.I don't think I'm alone in desperately wanting to support parents who have experienced the trauma of child bereavement, while also worrying about saying the wrong thing.Nici Robinson joins me to share the story of her son Charlie, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour at just two years old. After three years of treatment, Charlie died in 2021.Together we talk about what no parent ever expects to face.I'm in awe of Nici as she speaks so honestly about the guilt, the loneliness, the impact on her marriage and children, and the reality that grief doesn't simply disappear with time. She also shares how she has learned to live alongside it.Out of unimaginable heartbreak came purpose.Nici founded Blue Bear & Co, creating sensory memory bears that hold voice recordings, scent and a heartbeat, offering comfort to families experiencing loss, separation and change. She also established the charity Thumbs Up for Charlie, helping families affected by childhood brain tumours create precious memories together.This episode is heartbreaking, hopeful and full of compassion. I'm incredibly grateful to Nici for trusting me with Charlie's story and for helping me reach parents who might desperately need to hear this conversation right now.If you've experienced grief yourself, know someone who has, or have ever wondered how to support a bereaved family, I hope this conversation helps.Find out moreBlue Bear & Co – Learn more about the sensory memory bears or donate a bear to a family who needs one:www.bluebearandco.co.ukFollow Blue Bear & Co on Instagram:@bluebear_and_coThumbs Up for Charlie – Find out more about the charity supporting families affected by childhood brain tumours:www.thumbsupforcharlie.co.ukDerian House Children's Hospice – The children's hospice Nici speaks about in this episode:📱 Follow Derian House on Instagram--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Brainwave to episode workshop with me: https://info.the-untypical-ot.co.uk/brainwave-to-episode Tuesday 14th July at 7.30pm--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you to this season’s sponsors:Terri Wyse & Rachel HelmThey are offering EBSA support through webinars and workshops.Upcoming Sessions: 📅 8th July – Webinar for School Leaders 📅 2nd September – Webinar for Parents & Families 📅 16th September – Joint Workshop (Parents + Schools) Podcast listeners receive £5 off using this code UNTYPICALPARENT5.School webinarParent/carer webinarWorkshopSupport the show
