Martha Munroe, a neurodivergent personal trainer, was noticing patterns in the ways her clients talked about exercise and their bodies. They were often driven by external goals (aesthetics, performance, what others think) vs. the internal experience of movement.

She reframes exercise as a way to explore and express through embodiment. Also, reclaiming exercise (not only movement) by offering gentle structure if desired.

I loved her book, Attuned Exercise!

Parenting as an AuDHDer is challenging and misunderstood. Many parents I speak to are near or in burnout at any given time, especially if they had kids before discovering their neurotype (which is common).

This episode is based not on my experience as a parent, but my experience having spoken and heard from many AuDHD parents, and what I see working for them.

This is in part a follow up to last week's interview with Julie M Green

Julie M. Green is the author of Motherness: A Memoir of Generational Autism, Parenthood, and Radical Acceptance.

She shares about how difficult early parenthood was, how different her autism presents versus her kid's, and navigating school and regulation skills.

The book is a vulnerable look at some of the challenging and lighthearted moments of raising an autistic kid.
