Exceptional Girls Podcast: Helping our smart but struggling girls feel seen, supported, and celebrated

Episode 3: A Candid Mother and Daughter Conversation, Part 1

Julie Withrow: Podcast host, mom, neurodiversity advocate, education reformer, curiosity follower Season 1 Episode 2

If you know and care deeply about a girl who learns, thinks, and experiences the world differently, I invite you to journey with me as we learn how we as parents, adults, and role models can help her understand, advocate for, and accept and love herself — just as she is.

This episode of the Exceptional Girls Podcast, you'll hear part 1 of a two-part conversation I had with my twice exceptional daughter, Maddie. We talk about our experiences over the past several years as we grew to understand her unique wiring. 

Listen in to this candid and intimate conversation as Maddie and I discuss:

  • What led us to explore why things seemed harder for her than other kids
  • The challenges she's experienced as both a student and a daughter
  • The mistakes and missteps I made as a mom, despite my best intentions
