Our guest today taught Ned's children when they were young and he can't say enough good things about her! Tracy Eisenberg is a 5th grade teacher at Shady Hill school in Cambridge, Massachusetts and knows how to teach neurodivergent kids, because she was one herself.

In this episode you'll hear Tracy's best advice for parents of school-aged children right now, how shame and disappointment affected her self-esteem growing up, and how an ADHD diagnosis in her 30's confirmed what she already knew.

As Tracy tells Ned, she's in the business of people, and helping her students become self-aware and achieve some agency in their lives is one of the things she loves about teaching!
