BONUS EPISODE: Learning to Love Autism, with Jo Long
Welcome to this week's episode with guest Jo Long (@jo.learningtoloveautism)
Jo Long is a Parenting Coach for mums of Autistic/ADHD kids up to age 11, diagnosed or not. She combines lived experience with practical tools to help you move out of survival mode — fast. Her son is bright, autistic with ADHD. She knows the heartbreak of watching your child struggle, the self-doubt of wondering “Is it me?”, and the pressure to keep everything together when you’re crumbling inside. But she also knows there’s a better way.
Key discussion points:
- How to handle emotional outbursts and preparing your child for school
- How to create calm mornings and smoother bedtimes
- How working with a parent coach means that you feel seen, supported and confident
- How to recognise your child's strengths and brilliance - not just their behaviour!
Thank you for listening,
Stay wild x
