  • PCP Guides: supporting neurodivergent kids - kids who are different

    PCP Guides: supporting neurodivergent kids - kids who are different
    Feb 22 2026
    This was a big re-listen. This episode was first released two and a half years ago following an email from an amazing parent trying to find a way through supporting their child after another child had made them feel different and less worthy of being celebrated. This movie helps remind us that kindness, seeing the best in people and loving unashamedly are the qualities we should elevate above intellect or power. We hope you like it and please join us on Patreon for additional resources we are building and a live Q&A to conclude this PCP Guides series on supporting neurodivergent kids. Thank you all for supporting us too.

    Episode 121: Hope reflection
    Nov 17 2025
    This is a big one folks. In this ep Nick & Billy dive deep into how we can build hope in our kids at different ages and levels of development, how hope is different to optimism and resilience, and how it can be used following set backs and failure. We discuss hope in the setting of heartbreaking experiences such as school expulsion, trauma, suicidal thinking and grief. As always we also read beautiful reflections and advice that bring laughter and tears. Thank you to everyone for sharing your experience with such honesty, vulnerability and courage. Your strength to keep trying to heal and grow for all the kids out there gives us hope.
