From Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, we've watched family rifts play out publicly. But behind the headlines is a dilemma many people face in their own lives: what happens when the person you love doesn't fit into the family you come from? This week, Kate Langbroek sits down with world-renowned relationship therapist Esther Perel to discuss one of the most emotionally complicated tensions of adulthood — choosing your partner while trying to maintain your relationship with your family. Why do some parents struggle to accept their child's partner? Why can falling in love feel like betrayal? And when family conflict erupts, how do you protect your relationship without losing the people who raised you? Together, Kate and Esther unpack family estrangement, difficult in-laws, loyalty, intimacy, and the relationship patterns we inherit from our parents — and whether it's possible to build a marriage that looks different from the one we grew up with.

Let us know what you think about the podcast!Episode 221 - Hidden Conflict: Why Your Family Feels Tense Even When No One is FightingWhat if your family relationship feels tense, distant, or uncomfortable, but you can't point to one big argument or obvious conflict?Many parents assume that conflict means yelling, fighting, blow-ups, or harsh words. But some of the most painful parent and adult child relationships are not loud at all. They are quiet. They look polite on the outside, but underneath there is avoidance, walking on eggshells, resentment, emotional distance, and the sense that something is not quite right.In this episode, Tina Gosney, Family Conflict Coach and Family Life Educator, explains how hidden conflict can slowly erode family relationships, even when no one is openly fighting. You'll learn why “keeping the peace” is not always the same as real peace, and why avoiding hard conversations can create more disconnection over time.Listen to this episode if you have ever thought:“I have to be careful what I say.”“We just don't talk about that anymore.”“Everything seems fine, but it doesn't feel fine.”“I miss how close we used to be.”“I don't know how to repair the distance with my adult child.”In this episode, you'll learn:Why conflict is not just fighting and how quiet conflict can show up as distance, tension, avoidance, or emotional disconnection.How “keeping things light” can become a form of avoidance in parent and adult child relationships.Why walking on eggshells is not the same as connection, even when it helps prevent an argument in the moment.How unresolved family conflict creates emotional static, making conversations feel harder, less honest, and less connected.The first step toward repairing hidden conflict without forcing a hard conversation before you are ready.If your relationship with your adult child feels strained, confusing, or distant, this episode will help you begin to name what is happening beneath the surface. Awareness is the first step toward creating a calmer, more honest, and more connected family relationship.  Tina Gosney is the Family Conflict Coach.

Let us know what you think about the podcast!Episode 220: Grandfatherhood and Legacy: How to Be Involved Without InterferingWhat kind of presence do you bring into your family?When you walk into a room, do people relax, or do they brace? Do your adult children feel supported by you, or do they feel like they have to manage your reactions? Do your grandchildren experience you as a steady, loving presence, or are they sometimes pulled into tension that really belongs between the adults?In this Father's Day episode of Coaching Your Family Relationships, we're continuing our two-part series on fathers in the second half of life. This episode focuses on grandfathers, family legacy, and the powerful role a grandfather can play in the emotional health of the family system.Grandfathers matter deeply. Your relationship with your grandchildren can shape their emotional wellbeing, their sense of family identity, and the patterns they carry forward. But grandfatherhood also comes with a delicate balance. How do you stay close without overstepping? How do you support your adult children without interfering in their parenting? How do you become involved in a way that strengthens the family instead of creating more tension?Using a family systems lens, we'll talk about the grandfather's role in the three-generation family system. We'll look at triangulation, emotional patterns, estrangement, repair, and what it means to leave a legacy of connection instead of control.In this episode, you'll learn:Why grandfathers have a powerful influence on the emotional wellbeing of grandchildren and the larger family systemHow to be an involved grandfather without interfering, undermining parents, or creating family conflictWhat triangulation looks like in real life, especially when grandchildren or in-laws get pulled into adult tensionWhy repairing the direct relationship with your adult child matters more than trying to access the family through the grandchildrenHow to think about your third-act legacy and the emotional patterns you want to stop passing forwardThis episode is for grandfathers who want to matter in the lives of their children and grandchildren, but who also want to show up with more wisdom, humility, and emotional maturity. It is also for adult children, spouses, and family members who are trying to understand the complex role grandfathers play in family relationships.Your legacy is not only what you provide, what you teach, or what you leave behind. Your legacy is also the emotional climate you create. It is the way people feel in your presence. It is the patterns you choose to keep and the patterns you finally decide to set down.You do not have to be a perfect father or grandfather to make a difference. You can begin by becoming more grounded, more honest, and more willing to work on the direct relationships in front of you.Because when a grandfather becomes more emotionally present, less reactive, and more connected, that change does not stop with him. It echoes through the generations that come after him. Tina Gosney is the Family Conflict Coach.

Text:  Genesis 37   Favoritism Leads to Jealous Resentment (Gen. 37:1-11) Jacob's favoritism paved the way for sibling rivalry. Joseph's dream caused division among his brothers.   Resentment Leads to Hateful Betrayal (Gen. 37:12-36) Joseph's brothers plot to betray him by selling him into slavery. Joseph's brothers deceive their father by telling him that Joseph was killed. Jacob is crushed with inconsolable grief over the loss of his son.   TRACING GOD'S HAND OF PROVIDENCE The story of Joseph points us to God's providence over all circumstances (Gen. 39:2-3, 21, 23: "The Lord was with Joseph)" The story of Joseph proves that God is at work for His glory and our good (Gen. 50:20: "God meant it for good"). The story of Joseph points us to Jesus, who suffered and died under the predetermined, redemptive plan of God (Acts 2:22-24)   Main Idea: God is sovereignly at work through our sinful actions and family conflict to accomplish His redemptive purposes.

How Resentment Quietly Builds In this episode of The Liberated Life Podcast, Robin Keehn opens a new conversation about what happens underneath our relationships — especially when something needed to be said, but wasn't. Resentment does not usually arrive all at once. It accumulates. A tone. A look. A changed plan. A moment of being overlooked. A “yes” that should have been a “no.” None of these may seem dramatic on its own, but together they begin to form a story. Robin shares how resentment often grows in the space between what happened and what was never spoken. She introduces the idea of an Open Loop — something unfinished, incomplete, or outdated that continues draining your time, energy, and peace — and an Unspoken Broken, a relational loop that stays open because it was never named. You'll hear why resentment is not always proof that the other person is bad. Sometimes it is a signal that something remains unfinished. In this episode, Robin talks about:  How resentment quietly accumulates over time Why small moments can carry a surprising amount of weight The difference between truly releasing something and simply not bringing it up How “always” and “never” stories begin to form in relationships Why unspoken moments become Open Loops What an Unspoken Broken is and why it matters How to begin with “Here's what I've noticed” instead of an accusation The two questions to ask before having a hard conversation: Why am I sharing this?What do I actually want here? Why closing one loop can begin to restore your time, energy, and peace “Resentment is interest on a debt nobody named.” Where have you gone quiet — and what has that silence been costing you? Want a place to start? Download Robin's free tool, Close One Loop, and walk through one open loop from start to finish in just a few minutes. Go to: closetheloopsnow.com/tool You'll also be the first to hear about Robin's upcoming five-day challenge at the end of June.

We also created a short Communication Patterns Quiz to help you identify how you respond under pressure. You'll find both here.

Let us know what you think about the podcast!Episode 218: How to Focus on What You Can Control When Family Relationships Are HardWhen a relationship is strained, it's so tempting to think: If I say it the right way… if I do enough… if I stay kind enough… then they'll finally respond the way I need them to. But the truth is, you can't control what someone else thinks, feels, or does. What you can control is how you show up, and that's where change begins.In this episode, you'll learn:How Stephen R. Covey's “Circles” framework helps you sort what you're worried about (concern) from what you can impact (influence) and what you can actually choose (control).The difference between control and influence and why confusing the two often leads to frustration, resentment, and burnout.Why blame, of yourself or others, quietly steals your power and what to do instead when you feel stuck.What “your inputs” really are in a struggling relationship and how to check whether you're expecting something different than what you're planting.A simple journaling question to help you reclaim steadiness and integrity: “Who am I being in the relationship, and how is that in my control?”When you focus on your circle of control, your thoughts, feelings, actions, and relational inputs, you stop chasing the impossible job of managing someone else's inner world. You may not be able to control outcomes, but you can keep planting what aligns with who you want to be. Over time, that steadiness changes you, and it often shifts the relationship more than force ever could. Tina Gosney is the Family Conflict Coach.

In this powerful and honest conversation, I sat down with Sharon McMahon to talk about something so many parents are quietly carrying right now - political exhaustion, moral tension, and the question of how to raise good humans in divided times. We unpack the difference between disagreement and dehumanization, politics and morality, optimism and hope. Sharon shares why feeling defeated is not a personal failure, how overwhelm is often by design, and why focusing on one or two issues can be more impactful than trying to care about everything at once. We also talk about boundaries in relationships, modeling values for our kids, coalition building, and what it really means to believe that the future is not finalized. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between politics as policy and politics as moral harm When “agree to disagree” no longer works How dehumanization differs from simple disagreement Why burnout and fear can make us easier to manipulate The difference between optimism and hope Why you do not have to care about everything equally How to focus your advocacy without burning out Coalition building and how real change actually happens Setting boundaries with family and friends during political tension Teaching children family values without demonizing others Why small joys and rest are part of long term resilience To connect with Sharon McMahon follow her on Instagram @sharonsaysso, check out all her resources at https://sharonmcmahon.com/ and buy her new book “We Are Mighty”: https://sharonmcmahon.com/book  00:00 Why Optimism Is Not the Goal 00:33 Meet Sharon McMahon, America's Government Teacher 01:43 Politics, Morality, and the Questions Parents Are Asking 03:11 Why Sharon Started Teaching Government Online 05:30 How to Stay Informed Without Losing Your Peace 08:20 Why You Do Not Have to Care About Every Issue Equally 12:37 When Politics Stops Being Policy and Becomes Right vs Wrong 18:01 When Agree to Disagree Stops Working 24:06 Boundaries, Family Conflict, and Not Demonizing People 29:17 Teaching Kids the Difference Between Disagreement and Dehumanization 33:09 How Fear, Burnout, and Hopelessness Make People Easier to Manipulate 35:34 What Real Advocacy Looks Like Beyond Voting 40:29 Coalition Building and How Change Actually Happens 44:31 Sharon's Children's Book and Why Agency Matters for Kids 50:58 What Gives Sharon Hope Right Now 52:34 Small Joys, Rest, and Building Resilience Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Family conflict may be common, but it was never meant to define us.In this message from Daniel Riddick, we continue the Family Matters series by looking at the story of Jacob and Esau in Genesis 25 and discovering how generational brokenness, dysfunctional patterns, and misplaced priorities can shape our families for generations.But through Jesus, cycles can be broken.This sermon is a powerful reminder that Christ has already won the victory over sin, division, and brokenness—and because of that, we don't have to keep fighting battles He already secured for us on the cross.Whether you're walking through conflict in marriage, parenting, extended family, or personal relationships, this message will challenge and encourage you to become a peacemaker, a reconciler, and a cycle breaker through the power of the Gospel.

Today, I am delighted to speak with Will Bledsoe, founder of Restorative Way, a company that provides training and program implementation for schools, individuals, organizations and businesses to recognize trauma, resolve conflict and engage with challenging behavior.

While at the university he taught courses in conflict management, group communication, global peace & conflict studies, community justice, social justice, the rhetoric of campaigns and social movements. In the religious studies department, he taught a course in Native American religious traditions. In 1999 Will was he was awarded Outstanding Scholarship Recognition by the National Honor Society of Religious Studies/Theology. He has facilitated over 1000 mediation encounters using a range of restorative models including victim/offender dialogue, family-group conferences, community-group conferences, and peacemaking circles for various municipal and district courts, schools, families, family businesses, and workplaces. Will is the author of The Restorative Way: Harnessing the Power of Restorative Communication to Mend Relationships, Heal Trauma, and Reclaim Civility One Conversation at a Time (2024). Will specializes in the field of restorative communication, especially restorative conflict resolution. He provides a definition for our listeners of restorative conflict resolution and describes the purpose and the practice of restorative communication. Relationship challenges and interpersonal conflict are common in most families. Will tells us how restorative conflict resolution can help families manage and resolve conflicts and describes his work with families who struggle with conflict and fractured relationships. Next, we look at the practical applications of Will's expertise. He describes the method of restorative conflict resolution, detailing the tools, frameworks, and approaches inherent in the practice of restorative conflict resolution. Communication is a critical component of restorative conflict resolution. Will talks about the importance of communication skills and offer some of your tips for developing and applying restorative communication among family members. Enjoy this instructive conversation with one of the leading practitioners of restorative conflict resolution in support of UHNW families.

If your kids are shocked by what’s in your will, the damage may already be done. On this episode of Fire Your Financial Advisor, Greg Aler digs into why inheritances so often spark family conflict and how unclear estate planning can turn grief into litigation. Greg draws from years as an estate attorney to explain common flashpoints—unequal distributions, family businesses, estranged children, and last‑minute changes—and why will contests almost never end well. The conversation focuses on intent, communication, and documentation, highlighting why tough conversations held early can shape very different outcomes later.

Are you always expected to be “the bigger person” even when you did not create the chaos? In this episode of the MX3 Podcast, we talk about protecting your peace, setting boundaries, accountability, forgiveness, and why maturity does not mean accepting disrespect.We break down a powerful message about knowing who you are, knowing who you are not, and learning when it is okay to walk away from situations that keep damaging your peace. This conversation is about personal growth, emotional strength, and taking responsibility for what you allow back into your life.Our mission at MX3 Podcast is discussing money, motivation, and relevant events in a way that helps people think deeper, live better, and make stronger decisions.

Family conflict is inevitable but how you handle it reveals the condition of your heart. In this message, Pastor Jason walks us through a powerful, biblical approach to resolving conflict in a way that reflects Christ, not culture.Jesus challenges us in Matthew 7:3 to examine ourselves before pointing out others. Instead of focusing on their faults, we're called to check our own hearts first. Are we seeking understanding or just trying to win? Are we responding with wisdom or reacting out of emotion?Proverbs 15:1 reminds us that a gentle answer can diffuse even the most heated situations. Your response has the power to either escalate tension or bring peace.God's Word also calls us to pursue resolution quickly (Ephesians 4:26). That means we don't ignore issues, and we don't explode in anger, we engage conflict with wisdom, humility, and intention.Guarding your heart is essential (Proverbs 4:23). Even when others intend harm, God can use it for good (Genesis 50:20). And as Romans 12:18 teaches, we are responsible for doing our part to live at peace with everyone.At the end of the day, you don't win family conflict by being louder, you win by looking more like Jesus.

Family drama can feel impossible to escape. Someone says something hurtful, crosses a boundary, or brings a storm of negativity into the room — and suddenly your peace is gone too.In this talk, we explore how to deal with difficult family members without stuffing down your emotions, exploding in anger, or losing yourself in the chaos. You'll learn how to stop feeding the internal thought storm, set boundaries without rage, protect your peace around negativity, and accept people as they are without giving up your clarity or self-respect.

Talking about money in families is hard. Talking about legacy is even harder. In this conversation with host Syama Bunten, Amy Castoro gets into why so many wealth transfers go sideways. Not because of bad legal structures or poor planning, but because families never learn to talk to each other. About what they actually need. About what they're afraid of. About what the money means to them and what they want it to mean for the next generation. When those conversations don't happen, conflict fills the gap and the wealth that was supposed to bring a family together ends up pulling it apart. Amy talks about the pressure that lands on the next generation, the damage that lingers after family conflict over money, and why women are increasingly at the center of these conversations as decision-makers, caregivers, and keepers of family culture. But before all of that, she shares where her perspective actually comes from. She grew up watching her mother stretch every dollar, lead with generosity, and hold things together through sheer resourcefulness. That upbringing gave her a particular lens on what wealth actually means and what it costs families who treat it as a financial problem instead of a human one. It's that backstory that explains how she became CEO of The Williams Group and why she approaches this work the way she does. This episode is part of a larger conversation Syama is building at Wealth Catalyst, salons and summits where women talk candidly about money, legacy, and what it actually takes to get it right.

What begins as a documentary about racial justice in Omaha becomes something far more personal.Filmmaker Nick Beaulieu joins Outrage Overload to discuss My Omaha, a film that follows his effort to document activism in his hometown while navigating a deeply strained relationship with his terminally ill father, a staunch pro-Trump conservative.Rather than trying to change minds, My Omaha explores what it takes to stay in relationship across political, racial, and generational divides. In this conversation, Nick reflects on trust, identity, social media, and how lessons from racial justice organizing shaped the way he tried to understand his father before it was too late.This episode is about family, polarization, and what happens when the story you're telling changes you in the process.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

At Robertson + Easterling, we care about our clients' emotional health as much as their legal needs. In the first of our three-part series Quiet in the Chaos, we introduce the healing power of meditation — the ancient spiritual practice of focusing your attention and calming the mind to cultivate greater awareness, presence, and emotional balance. It can involve observing the breath, repeating a meaningful phrase, or simply noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment. Over time, meditation can reduce stress, improve clarity, and foster a deep sense of peace and connection. In this first session, you'll learn to anchor yourself when life feels turbulent. Guided by your breath, you'll practice noticing thoughts, emotions, and body sensations without being swept away by them — much like finding safe harbor in the middle of a storm. Whether you're navigating family conflict, uncertainty, or change, this meditation offers a calm center you can return to anytime.

Send us a textRHOP-Screaming, Scheming & SamuelsRHOP S10 E9 “Leak What You Speak.”This episode picks up right where the chaos left off: Stacey and Kiarna still going at it, with Stacey loudly reminding everyone Kiarna “doesn't even have a husband.”Wendy tries to mediate, explaining that Stacey only wanted to speak with Monique privately — without Ashley and Kiarna present for safety and comfort reasons. Cue Kiarna firing back that Wendy needs to stay out of it.Stacey walks in just as Kay calls her a “fake fraud bitch,” and the energy instantly shifts. Wendy reiterates Stacey's conditions, and once the sit-down starts, Kiarna immediately excuses herself to head to the bar.Monique asks Stacey to clarify what happened at Pride, and the conversation turns to whether Stacey communicated with Monique's ex, Chris Samuels. Stacey denies ever dating him and reveals that Chris sent her multiple DMs, including passive-aggressive “thank you would be appropriate” messages and comments about filming. Ashley calls the receipts “fraudulent” since texts can be deleted.Wendy suggests that someone in the group is leaking info to Chris, then launches into her comedic “Detective Wig” confessional, listing her suspects: Kiarna, Cookie, Angel and Giselle, Meanwhile, tensions keep exploding — especially between Kay and Stacey, who cannot stop screaming at each other. When Stacey tries to leave, Giselle follows behind with her trademark messy commentary: “If you're leaving, then GO.”After leaving the event, we see calmer personal moments:Stacey at home with Arabella and Thiemo, focusing on family stability during/after divorce.Ashley talking about her Mom's boyfriend drinking and lack of contribution, worrying for her mother Sheila's wellbeing.Wendy opening up to her sister Ivy about her father's decades-long absence and how hurt she was not to see him in Nigeria.Later, Giselle and Angel host a girls' meetup and unload more complaints about Stacy, while Wendy and Stacey regroup to discuss meeting with Monique again — but Stacey refuses to meet with Kay, citing safety and discomfort.We then see Kiarna talking with her family about Greg asking her to move back in. Tension rises when she seems to prioritize the condo over an engagement ring, and her mother is not having it.In the final scene, Ashley gathers Kiarna, Wendy, Stacey, and Monique for a sit-down. Before Wendy and Stacey arrive, Ashley and Kiarna fill Monique in — and Monique, surprisingly calm, says she doesn't know who's telling the truth because everyone involved lies.She makes it VERY clear that all she wants is accuracy because co-parenting with Chris has already been a nightmare.Wendy brings up that Charisse called Chris Samuels, and Chris told her that Stacey did NOT call him — which makes Monique visibly cringe at the mention of Charisse's name. The mystery of who's leaking to Chris only deepens.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Julie Cobalt is an attorney with over 25 years of experience as a Conflict Resolution Expert with 1,200 successful mediations accomplished. After many years of working with large companies, Julie is now supporting families in resolving their conflicts, and offering workshops on navigating challenging times such as divorce. Julie shared a story of her mom who was always seeking validation through helping people outside of her family. This led to a fascinating conversation about the balance of taking care of others with taking care of yourself, but also questioning whom you seek validation from and why; how to shift perspective to see where the other person is coming from; and the importance of understanding before you react. Julie shared her inner journey of working on her relationship with her mother, and also the biggest lesson she learned as a Conflict Resolution Expert - she kindly shared her theory of “3 Buckets” which can help soften any relationship.

Disempowered to Empowered: Meltdowns, Boundaries & Donuts   In this heartfelt episode, Patricia (she/her) shares three powerful personal stories that highlight the challenges—and wins—that come with being a sensitive, creative, neurodivergent human. From navigating family dynamics around living arrangements, to reclaiming power after a disempowering volunteer experience, and even exploring the emotional depth behind a simple craving for an apple fritter, Patricia offers an intimate and validating glimpse into what it's like to be an AuDHDer who feels things deeply—and still chooses to show up.   KEY TAKEAWAYS ·      You don't need to justify your needs. “They don't have to understand why I need two months. I just do.” ·      High masking + high empathy often = emotional invisibility. You're not alone if you feel overlooked or undervalued. ·      Internalizers often seem fine while falling apart inside—naming your pain out loud is a radical act of self-love. ·      Disempowerment doesn't mean you're weak. It often comes from past trauma, sensory overload, or lack of support. ·      Communication isn't always immediate. It's okay if clarity or assertiveness comes a day (or three) later. ·      There's no such thing as “too sensitive”—just systems that weren't built for your needs.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       Patricia emphasizes the importance of asserting one's needs without feeling apologetic. ·       She shares her experience of feeling disempowered in family dynamics and how she navigated that. ·       The conversation highlights the challenges of communication in relationships, especially for neurodivergent individuals. ·       Patricia discusses the significance of volunteering and how it contributes to her sense of empowerment. ·       She reflects on the internal struggles (and unrealistic desire) of wanting others to understand her needs without explicit communication. ·       The importance of processing emotions and taking time to understand one's feelings is emphasized. ·       Patricia shares her journey of finding strength in her volunteering experience with horses. ·       She discusses the impact of trauma on her ability to communicate effectively. ·       The conversation touches on the theme of sensitivity being a unique aspect of one's identity, not something to apologize for. ·       Patricia encourages listeners to embrace their sensitivity and understand its value.   SOUND BITES "I need to have a meltdown." "It's my responsibility." "I felt seen and I felt heard." "I think we've learned to just detach from our feelings, to dissociate, and go along to get along—but it just doesn't work for us anymore." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.   TOPICS COVERED  ·       Autistic meltdowns & internal regulation: How Patricia recognized an impending meltdown and advocated for space and support. ·       Family boundaries & accommodation: The emotional toll of giving up a beloved workspace, and the grief that often goes unseen. ·       Losing & reclaiming joy: When creative hobbies fade and space feels scarce, how do you reconnect with yourself? ·       Assertiveness without apology: Speaking up about needs, even when it's hard, awkward, or overdue. ·       Feeling invisible in groups: Disempowerment during horse volunteer training and the journey to feeling confident and capable again. ·       Processing delays & trauma: Why it sometimes takes days to realize something didn't feel okay—and that's valid. ·       The donut story (yes, it matters): What a pastry can teach us about needs, unmet expectations, and healthy communication. ·       Relational repair & emotional safety: The delicate dance of vulnerability, misunderstanding, and being met with care. ·       The problem with people-pleasing: When masking and fawning keep you from honoring your own feelings. ·       What sensitivity really means: Reframing neurodivergent traits as strengths, not flaws. PODCAST HOST Patricia (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.
