A podcast all about empowering kids and the adults who raise them, care for them and teach them. Through making connections, sharing, and learning together.
This podcast is for all those parents who want their children to thrive, to succeed and simply not to have to struggle with what seems to come so easily to other kids their age. It is for anyone caring for a child with any range or level of additional needs.
I will share my own tips, tricks, strategies, hacks, rants and moans for achieving greater connection in your life.
Aniesa completed her degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Stellenbosch, in South Africa. She has since been focusing on paediatrics and sensory processing and integration. She has worked across a range of paediatric fields and has extensive experience in autism, specific learning difficulties, as well as anxiety and emotional regulation. Aniesa has one teenaged son with autism, and one with sensory difficulties. She herself was diagnosed at a late age as having ADHD and has found that understanding her neurodivergence has led to greater connection with children and their parents.

Aniesa is joined by Archie in this episode to talk about what is frequently called the 8th sense, interoception. Interoception is associated with everything from pain sensitivity to decision making and Aniesa and Archie discuss why struggles with its regulation are associated with neurodivergence and the common challenges it often presents.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"Interoception is strongly related to our emotional state”
“Until your interoception is fully developed you’re going to find it really difficult to manage your emotions and social interactions”
“He would try to regulate the kids when he wasn’t regulated”
“What is it that I am feeling, why am I feeling that way?”
“As a neurodivergent person, you experience trauma and that is going to lower or stop your interoceptive awareness”
“People with interoceptive issues are likely to have a higher baseline of anxiety”
