Kicking off our first guest episode with the inspiration behind All Brains Grow: my mom..
Growing up, she made it all look effortless, as if caring for my autistic brother came naturally. But when I sat down and asked her intentional questions, I realized how far from the truth that illusion was. My brother, now an independent 30-year-old and a sous-chef, wouldn’t be the man he is today without her unwavering support.

As a welcome to our newly launched podcast, I wanted to share the story that I always go back to when I wonder ‘why am I doing all this?’ This mini preface will show you what happens when you have the courage to talk about your biggest burden… because sometimes, the person right in front of you may have the keys to all of your concerns. Or at least the passcode.
In my storytelling, I unexpectedly get emotional and it is that kind of intimacy that this podcast will uphold with all the guests.
Stories like mine, there are hundreds, but they are behind closed doors. I want to give the mic and turn it to all of the wonderful parents, teachers, professionals, and everyday people who’ve learned to live with meaning and impact.

About the show
Progress can often feel impossible. Whether you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, navigating a life-changing conflict, or struggling to help yourself, it’s easy to feel stuck and overwhelmed. But I’ve learned through my journey—from growing up with an autistic brother, raising a deaf son with cochlear implants, to working as a neurotherapist—that growth is always within reach. Every brain can learn and adapt, no matter the diagnosis.
Hosted by Louloua Smadi El Hajj, founder of the educational platform All Brains Grow and author of ”From Client to Clinician”, this podcast offers tools, stories, and conversations to help guide you through possibilities which you might have thought unimaginable.
I’ll be sharing insights from inspiring caregivers, experts, and my personal experiences, answering questions like: ”How can I support my child’s development at home?”, ”What therapies or interventions are most effective?”, ”How do I manage challenging behaviours?”, ”How do I take care of myself?”, ”Am I doing enough for my child?”, ”How can I manage my feelings of guilt or grief?”, ”How do I stay resilient and optimistic?”
No matter how hard things may seem, believing in growth and change can lead to transformation—for your child, your family, and yourself. From neurodiversity to mental health, therapy, parenting or science, we won’t shy away from asking the vulnerable questions that will get you the intimacy and knowledge that you’ve been craving.
Let’s rewrite the narrative around neurodivergence and celebrate the everyday heroes who are moving mountains. Together, we’ll build a life of confidence, love, and acceptance—one story at a time.
