Episode #279
EP279 Why Won't My ADHD Kid Just Start? A New Theory of Motivation
Aug 12, 202633 min
Ever look at your ADHD kid and think, "I know they want to do well — so why can't they just get started?" This week, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper joins Elaine to break down a completely new way of understanding motivation and executive function. You'll learn why "unmotivated" is almost always the wrong word, why extra time isn't the accommodation you think it is, and why talking things through with your kid might be one of the most powerful tools you have. This one's dense — you may want to listen twice. Tap in for a total shift in how you see effort, motivation, and what your ADHD kid is actually up against. What to expect in this episode: A new way to understand ADHD motivation using Dr. Russell Barkley's two-brain model Why calling executive function an "impairment" can actually reduce shame, not increase it Why rewards and willpower fall short as long-term motivation strategies Why extra time isn't the relief parents assume it is Why talking things through with your kid is a real, research-backed accommodation About Jeff Copper Jeff Copper is a cognitive engineer and ADHD coach.

EP278 High-Conflict Divorce to Co-Parenting Peace: A Real Success Story
Aug 5, 202638 min
High-conflict divorce can feel like a life sentence — especially when you're fighting over your child's health and well-being, and neither parent will budge. In this episode, Elaine sits down with Alanah, an attorney and civil rights advocate, who shares how she transformed a near-litigation co-parenting nightmare into a working relationship built on mutual respect and collaboration. Alanah breaks down the exact shift that changed everything — and what she did when her co-parent wasn't on board yet. If you've ever felt trapped in a conflict you can't get out of, this one's for you. Listen now and find out what's actually possible. What to expect in this episode: The parenting covenant strategy: How Alanah transformed a stack of legal pleadings into a clear, shared vision, and how to distill what you actually want from a conflict so you can start working toward it. What to do when your co-parent isn't on board: Practical guidance on enrolling a resistant co-parent in a new vision without forcing it on them. Why alignment beats agreement: The crucial difference between trying to agree on specifics and starting with what you both already share: your child's well-being. Real-time coaching and "texting from the ledge": Why practicing new patterns in the middle of a real conflict, not just during a coaching session, is what makes change stick. The shift from "have to" to "get to": How Alanah moved from feeling like a prisoner in her co-parenting dynamic to feeling genuinely liberated and what that shift actually required.

EP277 Why Systems Fail—And What Actually Works for Complex Kids
Jul 29, 202627 min
You’ve tried the systems recommended for helping complex kids—reward charts, planners, new morning routines—and they’re just not sticking for your kid. It isn’t that you’re using bad systems, it's that often we’re starting with the solution before we understand the problem. In this episode, Elaine and Diane unpack why systems and structures are the last piece of the parenting puzzle, not the first, and walk you through a practical, personalized approach to building routines that actually hold up for neurodiverse kids. Ready to stop guessing and start problem solving? This one's for you. What to expect in this episode: Why systems and structures come last in the ImpactParents model. The real reason reward charts and planners only work some of the time. How to problem-solve before you pick a system using real world scenarios and practical examples. Why buy-in and ownership are essential for complex kids and how to get them on board without a power struggle. The concept of "flexible structure": how to build routines that are solid enough to hold, but have enough give to survive a hard day.

EP275: Positivity and Communication: The Second Cornerstone of Parenting Complex Kids
Jul 15, 202624 min
Being nice and being positive aren't the same thing—and if you're parenting a complex kid, that distinction matters. In this episode, Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster dig into the second Sanity School® cornerstone: positivity and communication. They cover why resilience more than intelligence influences success, what the "independence pyramid" is built on, and how the way you talk to your kid (and to yourself) shapes everything from relationships to self-regulation. It's part two of a four-part series. You can catch up on the first episode about activating your child’s brain and follow along so you don't miss the rest. What to expect in this episode: Why being positive isn't the same as being nice, and why that distinction matters for parenting complex kids Why resilience, not intelligence, is the biggest predictor of a kid's long-term success, and how to build it What the "independence pyramid" is, and why relationship, trust, and communication have to come in that order How tone, timing, and what your kid actually hears (versus what you meant) shape every conversation Why self-talk is a form of self-care, and how changing your own internal dialogue changes how you show up for your kid Download free guide: Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids Connect with ImpactParents: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Substack
EP274: How to Activate Your ADHD Child's Brain: Executive Function, Emotions & Motivation
Jul 8, 202625 min
Your brilliant kid can't get out the door in the morning, falls apart over homework, and goes from fine to completely overwhelmed in seconds. You want to help them out, but it feels like you've tried everything and nothing sticks. In this episode of Parenting with Impact, Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster break down what's actually happening in your child's brain, and why executive function, emotional regulation, and motivation are the three most important things every parent of a neurodiverse kid needs to understand. This is part one of a four-episode series built on the framework ImpactParents has been teaching with their Sanity School® program for 15 years. If you're tired of jumping from strategy to strategy without meaningful progress, this episode gives you a powerful place to start. Hit follow so you don't miss what's coming next. What to expect in this episode: Why "activating the brain" is the foundation for everything else you'll do as a parent of a complex or neurodiverse kid—and what it actually means day-to-day The real reason your brilliant child struggles to organize, plan, or follow through (it has nothing to do with how smart they are, it just requires a completely different part of the brain) What executive function looks like in daily life, and how Dr. Thomas E. Brown's six-area model helps you pinpoint exactly where your child needs support Why your child probably isn't really going from "zero to a hundred"—and what's actually happening in their nervous system before the meltdown Why your child isn't unmotivated — they're differently wired, and understanding that changes everything about how you show up for them Download free guide: Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids Connect with ImpactParents: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Substack

Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities.

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
