Ep 164: Neurodivergent Family Life, Home Education and Breaking Cycles with Amanda Appiagyei

About this episode

Catherine Counihan discusses neurodivergent family life and home education with Amanda Appiagyei, focusing on productivity and breaking cycles in parenting.

Cath was joined by productivity strategist and home educating Mum of 3 Amanda Appiagyei this week on the podcast. Cath and Amanda talked about Amanda's path to motherhood, mothering in a neurodivergent family, how Amanda tends to herself, her nervous system, her kids and her business, breaking cycles in a black mixed race family and the complexities of dealing with our own stuff as we parent.  Amanda is a sustainable productivity strategist for ambitious but overloaded women, and a home-educating mum of three. She shares equitable time management advice and practical systems for life and business that work with who you already are. Parent-friendly and ND-friendly. Her work supports women who want more than survival mode, eases the mental clutter, lightens the physical load, and frees up hours for what matters most, helping them streamline the boring to make space for the exciting.    Links and details to Amanda's website and socials are listed below.
