Building a village for neurodivergent families (with Jessica Shaw of the “Everyone Gets A Juice Box” podcast)
In It: Raising Kids Who Learn DifferentlyShow Notes
In this final episode of In It, we talk with Jessica Shaw, who’s launching a new podcast called TBD — it’s about the beautiful roller coaster that is parenting neurodivergent kids.
As a mom to two teenage daughters, Jessica reflects on what she wishes she’d known earlier, what she’s learned along the way, and why finding a community of parents who truly get it can be life-changing.
To our audience: We’ve loved every minute of making this show. Thank you for listening, for sharing, and for being part of this beautiful community.
We’re so grateful you’ve been in it with us.
