Built ForYour Family™

Because what works for other kids won't work for yours.

Every family who listens takes something different away. Because every outside-the-box kid has a different nervous system, different triggers, and different moments that fall apart. Lily Baiser, MS, OTR/L, and Jill Gitten Aloia, PhD, ABPP-CN go deep on the science behind the hard moments — so you finally understand the child in front of you.

The clinical team behind the show

Two clinicians. Both parents.

Lily and Dr. Jill don't describe the hard moments from the outside. They recognize them from the inside.

Lily Baiser, MS, OTR/L

Co-Founder & Chief Clinical Officer, Kinspire

I'm a pediatric occupational therapist with 17 years of experience — across sensory clinics, home visits, schools, and virtual care. But what drives me has never been the setting. It's the moment a family finally understands what's been happening for their child — and realizes they have the tools to actually help.

I co-founded Kinspire because the real magic happens between sessions. In the daily moments, the hard mornings, the routines that keep falling apart. That's where families need support most — and where the system has always fallen short.

"Kinspire allows me to create a deeper relationship with the families I work with and truly help them in ways I couldn't in a clinic setting."

Jill Gitten Aloia, PhD, ABPP-CN

Chief Neuropsychologist, Kinspire

I'm a board-certified neuropsychologist with over 20 years of experience working with children and families navigating learning differences, executive function challenges, and emotional-behavioral difficulties. My work has always centered on one thing: helping families understand the brain behind the behavior.

I joined Kinspire because the most powerful thing we can give a parent isn't a strategy. It's understanding. When that clicks — when the science finally makes sense — everything shifts. That's what this show is built to do. And it's why this work matters to me.

"When we help families understand the 'why' behind a child's behavior, everything starts to shift."

What this show is

Every parenting podcast tells you what to do.This one explains why.

Most parenting advice was built for neurotypical kids. When your child is wired differently, "just try this" doesn't cut it — because the same moment looks completely different depending on what's happening in your child's nervous system.

Built For Your Family™ goes deep on the science the other shows skip: sensory processing, executive function, emotional regulation, and why your child's hard moments happen in the first place.

Because when you understand your child, everything changes.

01
The nervous system science behind behavior
Not tips. A real explanation of what's driving your child's hardest moments — so you stop guessing and start knowing.
02
Clinical depth you won't find anywhere else
Hosted by a pediatric OT and a board-certified neuropsychologist — both parents of outside-the-box kids themselves.
03
Real families. Real moments. Real life.
Every episode ends with a real parent call-in. One hard moment, responded to specifically — the way every family deserves.

What to expect

The science behind your child.In words you can actually use.

Each week Lily and Dr. Jill bring one topic to the table — a hard moment, a behavior, a pattern you've seen a hundred times but never quite understood. They break down the nervous system science behind it in a way that finally makes sense. Not clinical. Not simplified. Just clear.

Then they put it to work. Real examples, real families, real life — so by the time the episode ends you're not just more informed. You're more capable.

No prep needed. Just press play.

The Why
The nervous system science, explained
Lily and Dr. Jill go deep on what's actually driving the moment — a real explanation that makes your child finally make sense.
The What
What to actually do about it
Specific, sequenced guidance grounded in Precision Parenting™. What to say, what not to say, and why the order matters.
The Call-In
A real parent. A real moment.
A parent calls in with their version of the moment. Lily or Dr. Jill responds on mic — specifically, clinically, and without judgment.
