When it comes to parenting a complex kid, the change you’ve been working towards often shows up over years, not overnight.
In this week’s episode, Elaine and Diane sit down with longtime ImpactParents member Andrea Osborne for a success story about parenting her ADHD daughter from the diagnosis she received after middle school through her big leap into college. Andrea gets real about letting go, grieving the kid she thought she’d have, and learning to lead with acknowledgment instead of correction.
If you’ve ever wondered how things can feel like a mess and like you’re making real progress at the same time, this one’s for you.

Ever notice your team runs smoother than your household, or vice versa? Elaine sits down with her husband and colleague David Taylor Klaus ( David Taylor-Klaus, 𝗠𝗖𝗖, 𝗖𝗣𝗖𝗖 ) to unpack how parenting and leadership draw on the same skills and why understanding neurodiversity at work isn’t just kind — it’s good business. They dig into masking, quiet quitting, retention, and why “all boats rise” when workplaces are designed for how brains actually work.
If you’ve ever wondered how the coach-approach you use at home could change your team at work, this one’s for you.
