This week on The Empowered Parent Podcast I sat down with Sarah Lovett from Our PDA Kids and Paige Carter from Inclusive Oak. Both Sarah and Paige are parents of children with Pathological Demand Avoidance, or Persistent Demand for Autonomy, and both run successful services supporting families just like yours.

Sarah talked about burnout, why it happens, and how we can support children who find school overwhelming. She also shared gentle reminders about parent self care and why looking after yourself helps your child feel safe.

Paige shared her own real life stories with her children, Oaklan and Lacey. She spoke honestly about the hard moments, the small wins, and what has helped her family at home, in the community, and at school.

This episode is full of practical ideas and hope for parents who are struggling with everyday challenges like getting up, eating, brushing teeth, showering, going out, or returning to school.

Join us for a conversation that reminds you that you are not alone, and that small steps can make a big difference.
