Parenting isn’t easy- parenting kids with special needs comes with its own challenges. We drink, we overshare, we're not here to sugarcoat it. We're figuring it out as we go, sharing the ride with anyone who needs a laugh, a cry, or just some solidarity.

    Ep 10- Redefining Milestones

    (Warning: Adult Language.) What happens when your child doesn’t follow the “normal” timeline? We’re unpacking special needs milestones, the grief and the pride that can exist at the same time, and what it really means to celebrate progress the world doesn’t always recognize. Because every bit of progress counts — and showing up for our kids exactly where they are is what truly matters.

    Ep 9- We're not okay... That's the Update

    In this episode, we’re checking in on our mental health… and spoiler alert: it’s not great. We talk current stress levels, overloaded nervous systems, and what it feels like to love your kids deeply while also being completely tapped out. No fixing, no pretending—just honest mom talk, a little dark humor, and the reminder that if you’re not okay right now, you’re definitely not alone. Grab a drink and come sit with us.

    Ep 8- This Beautiful Mess

    (Warning: Adult Language.) Life with special needs is messy, exhausting, and unpredictable—but it’s also deeply meaningful in ways we never expected. In This Beautiful Mess, we talk about the good that grows alongside the hard: the depth of love, the heightened empathy, the way we feel everything a little more intensely. This episode is an honest look at the beauty woven into the chaos, and why both can exist at the same time.

    Ep 7- This Feels Different For Everyone

    (Warning: adult language.) Often we experience similar moments and challenges, yet absorb them in completely different ways. It’s not one-size-fits-all. What overwhelms one person might barely register for another. And what looks like “handling it well” on the outside can feel heavy on the inside. We chat about what it’s like to carry the invisible weight of special needs parenting, and how comparing our struggles to other moms can leave us feeling like imposters in our own lives.

    Ep 6- Turns Out, We're Okay

    (Warning: Adult Language) We hadn’t seen each other since our last episode—the one where we bled our hearts out. So we had a real life catch up on the couch and talked about what changed, what didn’t, the tiny wins that helped, and how you can feel better without pretending things are easy. It’s honest, a little unhinged, and proof that sometimes the fog lifts just enough for a laugh—and a refill.
