The Dr. Psych Mom Show with clinical psychologist Dr. Samantha Rodman Whiten

The discussion kicks off with a look at the tricky balance between a husband's needs and a mother's innate instincts. Parenting challenges take center stage as the natural tendency of mothers to prioritize children is examined. The importance of nurturing romantic relationships amidst early motherhood is highlighted. The conversation also dives into the complexities of parental priorities, weighing children's emotional needs against parental desires, all while cautioning against choices that could create family discord.

On the internet, people are reading that if you have any type of neurodiversity then your brain is just different and you shouldn't be expected to "mask" to try and "pass" as neurotypical. This makes some people say they are neurodivergent so all touch or intimacy is off the table. Wait what? Listen for my take on this idea.
