The Untypical Parent™ Podcast
Welcome to The Untypical Parent™ Podcast, a place for parents in neurodivergent families who want real-life strategies, honest conversations, and a reminder that doing things differently is more than okay.
Hosted by me, Liz Evans — The Untypical OT, a dyslexic, solo parent in a neurodiverse family, this show explores everything from parental burnout and sensory needs to dyslexia, ADHD, and chronic illness. You’ll hear from experts and parents alike, sharing tips and stories to help you create a family life that works for you, because every family is unique and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to families.
If you’ve ever felt that “typical” parenting advice doesn’t fit your world, this is your place for connection, practical tools, and encouragement without the judgement.
Topics include:
• Neurodivergent parenting strategies
• Managing burnout and overwhelm
• Sensory-friendly family life
• Dyslexia, ADHD, autism & additional needs
• Parenting with chronic illness
Listen weekly for ideas you can actually use — and the reassurance that you’re not alone in doing things your way. Take what works and leave what doesn't.
Are you ready?
