The Mindful Toolbox Podcast helps parents of neurodivergent, anxious, and school-refusing children through evidence-based strategies rooted in neuroscience.
We believe:
✨ Children aren't broken—systems are
✨ Emotional wellbeing is the foundation for academic success
✨ Parents need support, not judgment
✨ Neurodivergent minds deserve celebration, not correction
We're not just a podcast, we're education specialists who work hands-on with families through:
- Bettering Youth: Holistic tutoring in Berkshire and Beyond
- Maverick Education: Specialist support for neurodivergent learners
Every bi-weekly episode shares real case studies, practical tools, and compassionate guidance for parents who feel alone in their child's struggles.

The Mindful Toolbox
It's the first day of December break for most of our students... and yet, today's video pod episode is all about Back to School in January...
Why?
because back to school is a nervous system shock especially for kids with ADHD or anxiety.
And I don't want you to start behind the ball.
In our latest episode, I break down:
• Why January feels harder than September
• What re-entry shock actually is (and why it looks like resistance)
• How to reset routines without pressure, guilt, or power struggles NOW
This isn’t about perfect planners or stricter mornings.
It’s about helping the brain feel safe enough to re-engage.
🎧 Episode 17 is live now:
Why Back to School Feels Hard in January (ADHD & Anxiety Explained)
If this resonates, save it for later or share it with a parent who’s quietly struggling right now 💛
