  1. Soft Life, Real Bills: Money Stories From a Neurodivergent Mom (Money Shame, Executive Dysfunction, Economic Independence)

    FEB 9

    Soft Life, Real Bills: Money Stories From a Neurodivergent Mom (Money Shame, Executive Dysfunction, Economic Independence)

    Neurodivergent Money Shame: Soft Life, Real Bills If you’re a neurodivergent (or suspected-ND) mom who wants a softer life but keeps getting body-slammed by real bills, money shame, and a brain that freezes the moment finances come up, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the neurodivergent money story—how perfectionism turns into procrastination, how time-blindness makes due dates feel like betrayal, how impulsive spending can be self-soothing, and why avoidance isn’t a “character flaw”… it’s often a nervous-system threat response. I’ll share the gentle, low-spoons “soft finance” tools I’m using to rebuild self-trust with money (without hustle culture): a 2-minute two-number check-in, a 10-minute weekly money meeting (inspired by Episode 6’s team-meeting rhythm), and repair scripts you can borrow when guilt tries to take the wheel—so you can build economic independence in a way that actually fits your brain. This episode dives into the neurodivergent money story so many of us carry—especially in autistic and neurodivergent motherhood—where wanting a soft life collides with real bills, money shame, and the daily reality of executive dysfunction. We talk about time blindness, impulsive spending, perfectionism, procrastination, and financial anxiety, not as moral failures but as patterns shaped by money scripts, stress, and nervous system dysregulation. Most of all, we explore “soft finance”: gentle money habits, budgeting approaches that actually fit neurodivergent moms, and practical ways to move from money avoidance to financial self-trust—so economic independence can feel doable, steady, and real.

    Making Content Between Diapers and Meltdowns: My Parallel-Brain Creator Life (Neurodivergent Mom + Low-Capacity Systems)

    Make Content With Kids Home: 7 Low-Capacity Systems If you’re a mom who wants to create—podcast, content, art, business, anything—but your days are chaos, your energy is low, and your brain feels scattered, this episode is for you. Today on Grounded & In Full Color, I’m sharing my real-life parallel-brain creator workflow: how I capture ideas fast, record or create with kids home, and keep shipping without a 3-hour “CEO morning” (think: notes apps, voice memos, batch windows, and low-capacity rules that protect your nervous system). You’ll leave with simple systems you can copy, encouragement for the tired-but-called creators, and a gentle reminder that your creative life can be built in small pockets of time—without burning yourself out. This episode is especially for the mom content creator trying to create content with kids at home—whether you’re a neurodivergent creator, an autistic mom creator, or an ADHD mom creator navigating executive dysfunction and time blindness while still wanting publishing consistency. I’m sharing a low-pressure creator workflow built for low capacity routines: how to capture ideas fast with a clean notes app system, use voice memos as your “hands-free brain,” and set up small batch content windows that actually work for work from home mom content and podcast creation with kids at home. The goal is to help you create sustainably, avoid creative burnout, and use nervous system regulation for creators as part of the system—not as an afterthought—so your parallel-processing brain can stay supported while you keep shipping.

    Am I Just Failing at Life or Is My Brain Different? (Late Autism Self-Recognition for Neurodivergent Moms)

    Am I Autistic? Signs ND Moms Miss (No Diagnosis Needed) If you’re a mom who keeps wondering, “Am I lazy, too much, or just failing at life?”—this episode is for you. On Grounded & In Full Color, I’m sharing my late/self-recognition autism journey and the most common neurodivergent patterns moms miss (masking, sensory overload, shutdowns, burnout cycles, time-blindness, and the urge to run away when everything gets too loud). You’ll walk away with gentle guidance for exploring a neurodivergent identity without needing certainty or a formal diagnosis yet—plus a simple “wired differently” experiment you can try this week to reduce shame and increase stability. This episode explores late diagnosed autism and late autism self-recognition through the lens of neurodivergent motherhood, especially for the autistic mom who has spent years wondering if she’s broken rather than wired differently. We talk openly about female autism, autism in women, and the often-overlooked autistic traits in women, including masking and unmasking, chronic sensory overload, constant overstimulation, emotional shutdown, long-term burnout, executive dysfunction, and time blindness. I also unpack the complicated feelings around autism self-diagnosis, seeking an autism assessment, and what it means to rebuild your sense of self and identity after autism discovery. If you’re a mom navigating nervous system regulation, practicing gentle parenting when dysregulated, and trying to understand your own brain while caring for others, this episode is a soft place to land—especially for neurodivergent moms who are learning to honor their needs for the first time.

  4. Talking to Your Partner When You’re Both Tapped Out (Neurodivergent Marriage + Overstimulation + Conflict Repair Scripts + The Tone Trap)

    JAN 14

    Talking to Your Partner When You’re Both Tapped Out (Neurodivergent Marriage + Overstimulation + Conflict Repair Scripts + The Tone Trap)

    ND Marriage Scripts: Talk Without Escalating When Fried If you’ve ever tried to explain what you need—and it came out as anger—this episode is for you. And if you and your partner are both good people but keep missing each other in the worst moments, this is for you too. In this nervous-system-first conversation on Grounded & In Full Color, I’m breaking down what happens when two tapped-out nervous systems try to communicate in the little-kid season—especially when you’re a neurodivergent mom and your partner’s wiring needs different cues. We’ll talk about the 3 biggest “hot zones” that trigger conflict—chores + mental load, overstimulation + shutdown, and money stress + trust—and why a lot of fights aren’t about the topic… they’re about wiring, timing, and load. You’ll get my simple Tapped Out Protocol (name your state → name your need → make a micro-ask), plus word-for-word scripts for when you need space, help, backup, or repair—without spiraling into people-pleasing or scorched-earth mode. And we’re naming the tone trap too: how ND bluntness (and the identities we’ve had to carry) can get misread, and how to soften your delivery without masking—so your message can land while you stay true to yourself. This episode includes a free 10-minute weekly team meeting agenda you can grab in the show notes to make hard conversations easier to contain! We’re digging into talking to your partner when you’re both tapped out—because communication when overwhelmed hits different when you’re navigating neurodivergent marriage (especially autistic mom marriage) and trying to stay connected through overstimulation in relationships, the messy reality of shutdown vs escalation, and the moments where you need real, usable conflict repair scripts for relationship repair. We’re naming the patterns that keep couples stuck—like chores, resentment, mental load, and invisible labor—and grounding everything in nervous system regulation for couples with practical communication scripts you can actually say out loud when your brain is fried.

    After I Yell: Real-Life Repair Scripts for Neurodivergent Moms (Apology + Nervous System Reset + Gentle & Firm Parenting)

    After You Yell: Repair Scripts for Overstimulated Moms (Apology Without "I'm Sorry") If you’ve ever mentally berated yourself after yelling—and then immediately vowed to “never do that again”—this episode is for you. In this real-life, nervous-system-first conversation on Grounded & In Full Color, I’m sharing what repair actually looks like when you’re a neurodivergent mom parenting little kids while you are dysregulated too: the noise, the touch, the demand stacking up… the snap… the instant guilt… and then the moment your kids cry, get scared, and sometimes even name it out loud (“Mommy, you got frustrated”). You’ll learn my simple 4-step repair loop (regulate first → name what happened → take responsibility without dumping → reconnect and reset), plus word-for-word repair scripts you can use with toddlers and young kids—including why I say “I apologize” instead of “I’m sorry,” how to reconnect with “hug or space,” and how to stay gentle and firm so repair doesn’t turn into permissive parenting. This episode is about reducing shame so you can reduce repetition—because your kids don’t need a perfect mom. They need you. In other words: this is your go-to guide for after I yell moments—real repair after yelling that doesn’t rely on empty promises, but on repair scripts for toddlers and practical tools for the overstimulated mom in the thick of it. We’ll talk honestly about what it means to be a neurodivergent mom (including the lived reality of an autistic mom), practicing gentle parenting while holding gentle and firm parenting boundaries at the same time. You’ll learn how to keep parenting while dysregulated from turning into a shame spiral, using rupture and repair plus nervous system regulation for moms strategies that actually work in the moment—especially when mom rage, postpartum overwhelm, and sensory overload are all sitting in the driver’s seat. (BTW, check out the song "Back to My Love" by Becky Hill, Little Simz...it's literally an anthem for this type of episode.)

    Low-Spoons Homemaking: How I Keep a Semi-Sane House With a Fried Brain (25-Min Containment Reset + Anchor Room for Overstimulated Moms)

    Overstimulated Mom Reset: 25-Min House Containment Sprint If you’re an overstimulated mom or neurodivergent mom who wants a semi-sane house without burning out, this episode is for you. I’m sharing a nervous-system-first homemaking reset (not a cleaning episode): my 25-minute containment reset (Pomodoro-style), plus tiny systems like an anchor room (or anchor surface) and a one-bin “containment” method that reduces visual clutter and decision fatigue fast. You’ll leave with a repeatable reset you can use when your brain disappears—but the baby still needs to be fed, your partner needs something, and the kids are doing the most. If you’re craving low spoons homemaking and low spoons cleaning that actually works for a neurodivergent mom, an autistic mom, or any overstimulated mom, this is a nervous system reset built around nervous system regulation for moms—a repeatable house reset routine that uses a 25 minute reset with Pomodoro cleaning to cut through visual clutter overwhelm, decision fatigue, executive dysfunction, and time blindness by focusing on an anchor room (or even just an anchor surface) and ultra-simple home systems for moms like sticky note checklists, simple routines for moms, and realistic support for sensory overload home moments (including dishes sensory aversion, snack plate dinner, and backup options like Hungryroot meals) so you can keep a semi sane house without burning out.

    JAN 3

    Soft Life, Loud House: Redefining “Gentle” When You’re Neurodivergent (Nervous System Respect + Real-Life Motherhood)

    Soft Life in a Loud House (Neurodivergent Mom Edition) If “soft life” content has ever made you feel behind because your house is loud, your routines aren’t aesthetic, and your nervous system doesn’t stay calm on command—this episode is for you. In this pillar episode of Grounded & In Full Color, I’m redefining soft life for neurodivergent moms as something real and usable: nervous system respect, not perfection. We talk about why Instagram soft life can backfire for autistic/ADHD/sensitive moms (hello, sensory overload and shame spirals), and what “gentle” actually looks like when you’re dysregulated too. You’ll get my simple 3-part framework—environment softness (sound, light, clutter), systems softness (fewer decisions, rhythm over rigid routines), and relational softness (repair, boundaries, co-regulation)—plus a “Soft Tuesday” menu of tiny choices that help in real life: decision-diet dinners, paper-plate permission, quiet-mode cues, doom-baskets, and short reset rituals. And yes—we’re talking tiny luxuries that actually help. One of mine is Earth Harbor's AURORA because the scent is unlike anything I’ve smelled before (fresh greens + intriguing), the color is gorgeous, and the name feels like an energetic hug. In this episode, I’m redefining soft life and soft life for moms through the lens of neurodivergent motherhood, because the reality for an autistic mom (and an ADHD mom (if applicable)) often includes sensory overload, sensory sensitivity, and overstimulation. We’ll talk about what gentle parenting looks like when you’re also human, including gentle parenting when dysregulated, and how nervous system regulation can be practical instead of performative. This is for the moms facing mom burnout, running on low spoons, and trying to build realistic routines while living with executive dysfunction—without turning self-care into another job. Most of all, we’re anchoring the idea of soft life not aesthetic—a soft life that fits real homes, real kids, and real nervous systems.

    When Your Nervous System Is Screaming and You Still Have to Make Dinner (Overstimulated Mom Reset Tools + Neurodivergent Motherhood)

    Overstimulated Mom? Reset Before Dinner in 5 Steps If you’re an overstimulated mom (neurodivergent, sensitive, burned out, postpartum—any of the above) and you’re hitting that late-afternoon “witching hour” where your body is buzzing but dinner still has to happen, this episode is for you. On Grounded & In Full Color, I’m breaking down overstimulation in mom language—sounds, touch, visual clutter, interruptions, decision fatigue—and why it’s not a character flaw… it’s nervous system load. You’ll get my simple Overstimulation Map (Inputs → Internal State → Exit Ramps) plus 5 tiny tools I use in real life when I’m maxed out but still parenting: naming it out loud, a 90-second micro-break, reducing input with one lever, a “decision diet” dinner plan (two options only), and a repair script that stops the shame spiral after a hard moment. As an overstimulated mom, I’m walking you through practical nervous system regulation for real life—when sensory overload and sensory overwhelm are stacking on top of the daily chaos of neurodivergent motherhood. This one is especially for the autistic mom brain (and the ADHD mom (if applicable) brain) that’s juggling mom burnout, dinner time stress, and nonstop decision fatigue while also dealing with executive dysfunction and time blindness. We’ll talk about gentle parenting when dysregulated, what repair after yelling can sound like without spiraling into shame, and how co-regulation can help when you’re running on low spoons. I’m also sharing realistic routines for moms that reduce load instead of adding “one more thing,” so dinner doesn’t become the daily breaking point.

  9. A Life That Fits Your Brain: The Story Behind Grounded & In Full Color (Late Autism Self-Recognition + Neurodivergent Motherhood)

    JAN 1

    A Life That Fits Your Brain: The Story Behind Grounded & In Full Color (Late Autism Self-Recognition + Neurodivergent Motherhood)

    Late Autism Self-Recognition: Build a Life That Fits If you’re a neurodivergent (or suspected-neurodivergent) mom who feels overstimulated, behind on “basic life,” or like you’ve been living on the wrong operating system, this episode is for you. I’m sharing my late/self-recognition as autistic and how motherhood cracked everything open—plus what “soft life” actually means in a loud, kid-filled home: nervous-system respect, tiny systems, repair, and zero perfection theater. You’ll hear what to expect inside Grounded & In Full Color (story time, micro-experiments, brain-friendly routines, scripts, and real-life honesty) and how to start building a life that fits your brain—one small, doable shift at a time. In this episode, I’m speaking directly to moms navigating late diagnosed autism and late autism self-recognition, especially if you’re an autistic mom trying to survive the beautiful chaos of neurodivergent motherhood while learning more about female autism in real time. We’ll talk honestly about masking and unmasking, the daily reality of sensory overload and overstimulation, and what nervous system regulation can look like when your environment is loud, your needs are real, and your capacity changes hour to hour. I’m also unpacking what a soft life for moms actually means in practice (not aesthetics), including gentle parenting with dysregulation—because love and burnout can exist in the same body on the same day. We’ll name the hard stuff too: executive dysfunction, time blindness, and why “just do a routine” advice often fails—then I’ll share routines for neurodivergent moms that are designed for real life, plus the emotional layers of identity after autism discovery and what it means to rebuild from a place of truth.

    Introducing The Grounded & In Full Color Podcast

    Are you a neurodivergent mom of little kids who feels overstimulated from sunrise to bedtime? Do you find yourself Googling “why am I so overwhelmed as a mom?” or “am I autistic or just failing at life?” Binging self-help content with 26 tabs open and still not knowing how to make your actual life feel softer? And the biggest question of all: how do I build a life that fits my brain while I’m raising tiny humans? Grounded & In Full Color is a neurodivergent mom podcast and studio for soft life, overstimulation, and building a life that fits your brain. This is a lo-fi, weighted-blanket corner of the internet for moms with scattered systems and full hearts — the ones waiting to exhale and watch a real life unfold in real time from a brain that never quite fit the default settings. I’m Prynsecc Ebonye — a neurodivergent, Level 1 autistic stay-at-home mom of three, digital content creator, and your big sister on the internet. From Houston, I share story-driven, practical episodes on neurodivergent motherhood, gentle-ish parenting, low-spoons homemaking, mental health, digital creativity, and money stories, all through the lens of a brain that processes everything in parallel. If you’ve ever highlighted books or saved posts from people like Dr. Becky Kennedy, Gabor Maté, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Nedra Glover Tawwab, KC Davis, Ramani Durvasula, Mr. Chazz Lewis or other trauma-informed, gentle-parenting, and neurodivergence-affirming voices, you’ll feel right at home here as I talk about how I’m applying those kinds of insights in real time. Grounded in real life, we talk about: • Neurodivergent motherhood in full color – Masking and unmasking, sensory overload, shutdowns, yelling and repair, and what “gentle” parenting looks like when you’re dysregulated too. • Soft, sustainable life with kids (not just candles) – Low-spoons homemaking, simple meals, realistic routines, visual cues, sticky-note checklists, and tiny systems that keep things moving on the hardest days. • Digital creativity with a parallel brain – Making content with toddlers in the background, showing up online when you’re tired, time-blindness, and turning your brain’s quirks into your creative edge. • Marriage, family, identity & mental health – Communication with your partner, extended family boundaries, people-pleasing, cycle-breaking, shame, self-concept, and learning to like your own brain. • Digital creativity & money stories – Building a personal brand as a neurodivergent mom, creating content with three kids at home, and making “soft life” make sense for your nervous system and your bank account. While the show is currently solo, I also leave room for future conversations with trauma-informed therapists, occupational therapists, neurodivergent coaches, gentle parenting educators, nervous-system practitioners, and money + business mentors whose work supports overstimulated moms like us. If you’re a neurodivergent (or suspected-neurodivergent) mom — or simply a deeply overstimulated, sensitive mother with a loud house and a big heart — this podcast is your weighted blanket in audio form. It’s big-sis radio that reminds you you’re not broken, you just need a life that fits your brain, one parallel-brain conversation at a time. 💛 Follow Grounded & In Full Color so you never miss an episode.
