Show notes
Why does Understanding Zoe exist… really?
In this deeply personal solo episode, Laetitia takes you behind the scene… not into strategy decks or product features, but into the real lived experience that sparked everything.
This is the story before the research. Before the app and before the business.
It’s the story of a parent navigating overwhelm, systems that didn’t connect, and a child who needed to feel seen, safe and understood.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding too much, juggling too many reports, or trying to connect dots that were never designed to fit together — this episode will resonate deeply.
✨ Try Understanding Zoe free for 7 days – the neuroaffirming app turning every report, observation and meltdown into an actionable next step.
