the Coaching Studio with Guest Elaine Taylor-Klaus, MCC

On this episode of The Coaching Studio, Lyssa deHart talks with Elaine Taylor-Klaus, MCC, co-founder of ImpactParents, about embracing neurodiversity through the coaching lens. Elaine shares her journey from overwhelmed parent to pioneering coach, including the profound shift of her own late ADHD diagnosis and how it reshaped her understanding of herself and her family.Together, they explore why coaching is such a powerful framework for supporting “neurospicy” kids and adults, and how curiosity, agency, and intentional motivation can transform the way we navigate challenges. Elaine introduces her playful term “neurospicy” as a way to lighten heavy conversations while affirming that nothing is broken — brains simply work differently.The conversation also touches on the role of nutrition and brain health, the PINCH framework for activating focus, and the importance of play, presence, and humor in managing our nervous systems. Listeners will walk away inspired by Elaine’s vision of a world where coaching skills are woven into everyday life, offering hope, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for the creativity that neurodiverse wiring brings.Check out her website.Follow her on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
