Wendy Gossett helps parents understand their children by using temperament psychology and neuroscience. She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector.
Even though she holds a Master’s degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids. Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast.
Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography.
Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!

Welcome to Not So Normal Parenting, where we dive into the complexities of raising children through the lens of
This mom first connected with me after finding my videos on YouTube and reading my parenting book, not just once, but twice. Through our coaching sessions, we developed practical strategies like a token system that gives her daughter the independence and structure she craves while teaching essential skills like collaboration and flexibility.
One of the biggest challenges we explore is how this mom is learning to model empathy for her daughter. As an ENTJ, empathy isn’t her daughter’s natural strength, and it’s something the mom has had to work on herself to guide and support her little one.
Whether you’re parenting a “mini-me” or navigating the dynamics of a strong-willed child, this episode is full of relatable insights and actionable tips. Let’s dive in!

48 | Struggling to Connect with Your Sensitive Child? A Type 2 Mom’s Transformational Story
Are you struggling to find a therapist who truly understands and connects with your child? You’re not alone. Pediatricians tell me that over half of the concerns they see in their practice are tied to mental health—whether it’s the child the parents, or both.
Tody, I’m thrilled to introduce you to a mom I’ve had the honor of coaching. She’s an incredible parent, a natural caregiver, and a community leader. As a Type 2 on the Enneagram and an ESFJ in the Myers-Briggs system, her personality is known for warmth, compassion, and generosity. Yet, her intuitive and sensitive INFP Type 4 daughter needed a different approach to thrive.
In this episode, you’ll hear how our sessions—working one-on-one with her daughter and then together as a family—helped transform their relationship. This journey gave them tools to embrace their differences, compromise effectively, and connect more deeply.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward transforming your relationship with your child, sign up for a free consultation today. Your family’s breakthrough may be closer than you think!
