À propos de cet audio

 Welcome to The Unfinished Idea — a podcast all about parenting, autism, ADHD, and life in a neurodivergent family. Here, we open up honest conversations about neurodiversity, raising neurodivergent children, and navigating the everyday realities of SEN parenting. What’s it really like parenting a child with ADHD and autism? How can parents, teachers, and communities better support neurodivergent children? How do autistic and ADHD individuals experience the world? Each week, we explore these questions with practical strategies, emotional insight, and real stories. I’m Greer — a mum of two boys (and two dogs!) raising a child with special educational needs (SEN) alongside my husband. Our daily life looks different from the norm, but it’s full of love, advocacy, and growth. I started this podcast to create a space for parents of neurodivergent kids, educators, and allies to learn, connect, and build understanding together. You’ll hear parenting tips, advocacy guidance, sensory strategies, and personal reflections that shine a light on both the joys and challenges of neurodivergent parenting. Through heartfelt solo episodes and guest interviews, we’ll talk aboutEHCP or IEP processes, school support, emotional regulation, and the big feelings that come with raising ND kids. Whether you’re here as a parent of an autistic or ADHD child, a late-diagnosed adult, a teacher seeking insight, or someone wanting to understand the neurodivergent world, this podcast is your space to grow, connect, and know you’re not alone.That Sounds Fun Network 2024 Hygiène et mode de vie sain Psychologie Psychologie et santé mentale Relations Sciences sociales

    One Year of The Unfinished Idea: Reflections, Lessons & What I Want the World to Know
    Oct 16 2025
    What a year it’s been! From late-night recordings and community building to tears, laughter, and so much learning — The Unfinished Idea just turned ONE! This episode is a celebration — of growth, courage, connection, and the beautiful chaos that comes with being a neurodivergent family. Whether you’ve been here since episode one or are just joining, this is a moment to pause, reflect, and remember why this journey matters. Host Greer Jones is celebrating the first anniversary of The Unfinished Idea — a podcast that grew from a simple desire to find connection in the neurodiverse world into a thriving community of understanding and hope. In this milestone episode, Greer is joined by her husband Chris, who shares what he’s learned from being part of the journey behind the scenes. Together, they look back at the lessons, surprises, and moments that shaped the past year — and dream about what’s to come. In this episode: Greer reflects on the courage it takes to start something new and keep showing up. Chris shares what he’s learned about inclusion, patience, and thriving as a neurodivergent family. Greer reveals what she wants the world to know about neurodivergent people — and it’s something you won’t forget. Plus, you’ll hear the voices of listeners and guests sharing their own answers to that same question. TAKEWAYS “No” isn’t the worst thing that can happen — sometimes, the biggest growth comes from just asking. Neurodivergent families can and do thrive — sometimes it just takes a few tweaks, consistency, and community. The world tells us we’re a burden, but in truth, neurodivergent people make life easier — through innovation, love, and resilience. Love and connection don’t always need words; they’re often found in small gestures and moments of understanding. Every episode, every story, every shared experience reminds us: you’re not alone in this journey.

    Beyond the Classroom: Rethinking Education for Neurodiverse Kids with Kim
    Oct 9 2025
    Is mainstream school the only path—or just the default? For many neurodiverse children, traditional classrooms create more harm than growth. Kim shows us what education can look like when we step outside the box. Meet Kim, an educator and advocate who supports families choosing alternative education outside the mainstream system. As a parent herself, Kim has navigated the realities of EHCPs, home education, and creating learning environments where her neurodiverse child thrives. She offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on what education can (and should) be.

    ADHD, Chaos, and Calling: Finding Peace in the Energy with Dr. Kelly Cagle
    Oct 2 2025
    Is ADHD just chaos—or could it actually be a different kind of order? For many families, ADHD looks like never-ending energy, constant ideas, and a pace of life others can’t imagine. But what if we stopped calling it chaos and started calling it engagement? Meet Dr. Kelly Cagle, an educator, researcher, mom, and late-diagnosed ADHD adult. With a PhD in Education and lived experience in a neurodiverse household, Kelly bridges research and real life. She shares not just professional insights but practical tools, faith-filled encouragement, and hope for families who feel “too much.”TOPICS DISCUSSEDADHD in both parenting and personal lifeMasking and coping strategiesChaos vs. engagement in neurodiverse familiesMovement and brain activation for focusParenting neurodivergent children with ADHDFaith and identity in navigating ADHDListening as a tool for clarityBuilding supportive communitiesTAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODEADHD brains pay attention—just differently. Movement keeps focus alive.What looks like “chaos” is often deep engagement and imagination.Masking starts as early as age 3, shaping how girls especially present.Listening is key—at home, in friendships, and in advocacy.Families can (and should) redefine “normal” to fit their needs.ADHD is not brokenness; it’s another way of being fearfully and wonderfully made.LINKSConnect with Dr. Kelly Cagle Join the Unfinished Community WhatsApp. Where you can share your everyday joys, struggles, and differences!
