Thank you, friends, for clicking on this episode of the Pondering Purple podcast, a source of information, insight and inspiration for those who love MKs and those who are MKs. In this first segment of the series on TCKs and Neurodiversity , we meet Jenilee Goodwin - mom to three neurodivergent young-adult children, former missionary, and Life Coach. She is a clear voice of knowledge and compassion regarding this too-often overlooked and misunderstood segment of the TCK population.
