New Podcast 'Parent Talk' Offers Expert Guidance for Modern Parents

By Sam Lidman

MIDLAND, Ga. – December 19, 2025 – In an era where parents are inundated with information yet often feel isolated, a new, authoritative voice has joined the conversation. Dr. Ambroes Pass-Turner, a counseling psychologist with over two decades of experience, officially launched her new podcast, Parent Talk with Dr. Ambroes, on December 18, 2025. The podcast aims to provide a sanctuary of support, offering expert-led discussions and practical strategies for families navigating the intricate challenges of modern parenthood.

The premiere episode, titled "Diagnosis Doesn't Define Children: Raising a Child with ADHD — A Mother's Journey," immediately tackles a subject that affects millions of families. It signals the podcast's commitment to destigmatizing mental health conditions and empowering parents with knowledge and compassion. By creating a space for honest dialogue, Dr. Pass-Turner seeks to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and the lived reality of raising children today.

A Voice of Authority and Compassion

At the heart of Parent Talk is its host, Dr. Ambroes Pass-Turner, whose extensive credentials provide a strong foundation of trust and authority. She is not merely a commentator but a practicing professional with a Doctor of Counseling Psychology degree and a formidable list of certifications. These include being a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), and a National Certified Counselor (NCC), among many others. Her expertise spans critical areas such as addiction, domestic violence, and forensic counseling, giving her a uniquely holistic view of the stressors that can impact family dynamics.

Dr. Pass-Turner's commitment to child and family wellness extends beyond her clinical practice. She serves as a professor at Grand Canyon University and Georgia Military College, shaping the next generation of counselors. Furthermore, she is a published author of books that directly address children's emotional health, including Rex's Journey: Helping Children Understand and Cope with Emotions and ADHD Warrior: Helping Children Conquer ADHD Unwanted Behavior. This body of work underscores her long-standing dedication to creating accessible resources for parents and children alike. Her existing YouTube channel, "Dr. Ambroes Kids Corner," demonstrates a proficiency in using digital media to translate complex psychological concepts into understandable and actionable advice.

This deep well of experience positions Parent Talk as more than just another parenting podcast; it is a masterclass in compassionate, evidence-based guidance. The podcast promises to be a space where parents feel "seen, supported, and empowered," moving beyond fleeting trends to offer sustainable strategies for fostering family well-being.

Tackling ADHD Beyond the Label

The choice to debut with a focus on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is both timely and critical. According to recent data, an estimated 11.4% of children in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD, a figure that has steadily risen over the past two decades. For parents, this diagnosis can trigger a journey filled with confusion, frustration, and a search for effective support. Research highlights the significant stress on these families, including higher rates of marital strain and profound feelings of isolation.

Parent Talk's premiere episode directly confronts these challenges. Featuring special guest Dr. Dolores Tarver, a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in ADHD and child psychology, the conversation aims to reframe the narrative around the diagnosis. The episode's title, "Diagnosis Doesn't Define Children," encapsulates its core message: to see ADHD not as a limitation but as a set of traits that can be understood and managed with the right tools. The press release promises that listeners will learn to challenge common myths and view a diagnosis as a tool for advocacy and growth.

This strength-based approach is desperately needed. Statistics show that nearly two million children diagnosed with ADHD in the U.S. are not receiving any specific treatment, and about 30% receive neither medication nor behavioral therapy. By blending the professional insights of two seasoned psychologists with what is described as a "powerful mother's perspective," the episode offers both validation and practical strategies. It speaks directly to parents who are struggling to navigate school systems, manage challenging behaviors, and, most importantly, preserve a loving and supportive connection with their child.

The Digital Frontier of Parental Support

The launch of Parent Talk with Dr. Ambroes arrives as podcasts have solidified their role as essential resources in the modern parenting toolkit. In a crowded digital marketplace, parents are increasingly turning to on-demand audio for a sense of community and expert guidance that fits into their demanding schedules. This digital shift has created a vibrant ecosystem of parenting podcasts, ranging from comedic takes on daily chaos to deep dives into developmental psychology.

Successful podcasts in this space, such as "Good Inside with Dr. Becky" and the Child Mind Institute's "Thriving Kids Podcast," often share a common formula: a credible, expert host who can provide science-backed, actionable advice. Parent Talk is well-positioned to thrive in this environment by combining Dr. Pass-Turner's unimpeachable credentials with a focus on mental health awareness and destigmatization.

The podcast's mission to foster "honest dialogue" and help families "thrive" taps into a universal need. While the market for ADHD-specific podcasts is robust, featuring shows from organizations like CHADD and ADDitude Magazine, there is always room for a fresh, compassionate voice that can synthesize clinical knowledge with relatable human experience. By making its content available on major podcast platforms, Parent Talk ensures its message of hope and empowerment is accessible to a broad audience, from a parent listening on their daily commute to one seeking solace during a difficult evening. As the series unfolds, it promises to cover the many real issues parents face, reinforcing that while the journey is not always easy, no parent has to walk it alone.
