Welcome to The Untypical Parent™ Podcast, a place for parents in neurodivergent, SEN and additional needs families. Here we talk about the messy and the sparkles, share ideas you can actually use, and give you space to take what might work and leave what doesn't.
Hosted by me, Liz Evans — The Untypical OT, a dyslexic, solo parent in a neurodiverse family, this show explores everything from parental burnout and sensory needs to dyslexia, ADHD, and chronic illness. You’ll hear from experts and parents alike, sharing tips and stories to help you create a family life that works for you, because every family is unique and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to families.
If you’ve ever felt that “typical” parenting advice doesn’t fit your world, this is your place for connection, practical tools, and encouragement without the judgment.
Welcome to your backup team. We've been expecting you.

Ever Wanted To Have Your Own Podcast?
But feel like you don't quite fit the mould? You're anxious. Or the tech is too overwhelming.
Welcome to the Untypical Podcaster, a place for real people who want to start or grow a podcast without the stress, jargon, or perfection pressure.
I'm Liz a creator learning podcasting in real time. I'm not a tech expert, and I don't pretend to be.
I don't have a fancy studio or mega expensive equipment. But I do it all. From guest selection, bookings, recording, interviewing, solo episodes, editing, marketing and all the bit inbetween. And I'm figuring things out bit by bit on a shoe string budget, and sharing what actually works for a busy, burnout prone, real-life human.
If you want relatable advice, small doable steps, honest reviews, behind scenes learning, honesty when I get it wrong so you don't have to and permission to podcast your way, you are in the right place. This is podcasting the untypical way, in real time; messy, curious, creative, and completely achievable. A burnout proof podcast that fits you.
Happy Untypical Podcasting.
