  • Resumen

  • Welcome to The Unfinished Idea, a space for you to expand your understanding about the neurodiverse world that is all around us. What is it like raising a child with ADHD and autism? How does a neurodivergent person see and interact with the world? This podcast will share practical help, tips, and insights into the joys, struggles, and differences of everyday experiences of this special world. I'm Greer, mom to two boys & two dogs and, together with my husband, raising a child with Special Educational Needs. Our day-to-day experience isn't being talked about in everyday life and I see a gap in those leading people who are neurodiverse. Whether you are a parent, a friend, a teacher, or a neighbor, it needs to be a joint effort. I created this podcast to build a “over a cup of coffee” kind of conversation with you and me -- helping to bring awareness and better understanding about those who are neurodivergent and families who are raising children with additional needs. Each week, I will spend 30 minutes talking and interviewing others in the neurodiverse space and giving you the opportunity to learn, grow, feel seen and heard by how we interact with each other.

  • Understanding Dyslexia: Signs, Support, and Breaking the Myths with Kelli Sandman-Hurley

    Understanding Dyslexia: Signs, Support, and Breaking the Myths with Kelli Sandman-Hurley
    May 8 2025
    In this episode, I’m joined by Kellie from the Dyslexia Institute for Learning for a powerful conversation about what dyslexia really is—and what it isn’t. If you're a parent of a child with dyslexia, have a neurodivergent learner in your family, or you're navigating your own learning differences, this episode is packed with insight and encouragement. Kellie gently debunks common myths about dyslexia and explains how it affects more than just reading or spelling—it can impact emotions, confidence, routines, and relationships. We also dive into early signs of dyslexia in children, the importance of early intervention, and how to create supportive environments both at home and in school. Whether you're exploring special education support, considering a dyslexia assessment, or simply want to understand the learning needs of your child or loved one, this episode will give you clarity, compassion, and practical tools. Join us for a conversation full of education, empathy, and empowerment—and don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with other families navigating the neurodivergent parenting journey.

    In this episode, I sit down with good friend Judith to talk about what it looks like to turn compassion into action. Judith, along with her partner in crime, saw a need in their local community—families raising children with additional needs were craving connection, understanding, and a space that truly worked for everyone in the family. And so, Our Space was born. Our Space is a monthly meet-up designed specifically for families with additional needs. It’s sensory-friendly, welcoming, and built by people who get it. From the moment families walk through the door, there’s no pressure to mask, no need to explain—it’s just a space where you can show up as you are. In our conversation, Judith shares how the idea came to life, what it’s meant for the families who attend, and why creating inclusive spaces can have such a lasting ripple effect—not just for kids, but for parents, siblings, and the wider community.We talk about the importance of peer support, the power of showing up consistently, and what it takes to build something that meets people where they’re at. Whether you're a parent raising a child with additional needs, someone who’s been searching for community, or maybe even thinking about starting something similar in your area—this episode will leave you encouraged and inspired.There’s so much goodness in this conversation, and I hope it reminds you that even small, simple ideas can grow into something beautiful when they’re rooted in care. Tune in, take what resonates, and as always—come join the conversation. I’d love to hear what kind of community support you’ve found helpful in your journey, or what you’re still searching for.

    In this episode, I chat with Victoria, @nuerdivergentbirth about the unique experiences of being neurodivergent during pregnancy and childbirth. We dive into how sensory sensitivities can show up—not just within your body, but in the environment around you—and how that impacts the entire journey from pregnancy to birth. Victoria shares insight into the different ways friends, family, doulas, and midwives can offer meaningful support. We also talk about how limiting executive function overload, like simplifying food and meal decisions, can make a huge difference during this time. This conversation opened my eyes to challenges I hadn’t even considered, and I think it’ll do the same for you. Whether you’re neurodivergent, supporting someone who is, or just curious about how these experiences differ, you’ll find valuable perspectives and practical tips here.
