The One Where It Feels Like A Roller Coaster

A friend recently asked me what life with P is actually like — and I realized I didn’t really know how to answer.So this episode is my answer.The last few months have been a full-blown roller coaster: good school days, new words, AAC wins, aggression, elopement, headbutting, broken TVs, appointments, medication, safety planning, chicken nuggets, and everything in between.Because autism parenting isn’t one thing.It’s celebrating progress one minute and wondering what the hell just happened the next.It’s exhausting, funny, scary, beautiful, messy, and sometimes all of those things before lunch.Welcome to the ride.autism parenting, autism mom, special needs parenting, parenting podcast, autism family, neurodivergent parenting, autism aggression, elopement autism, AAC communication, ADHD parenting, real life parenting, parenting struggles, motherhood unfiltered, caregiver life, Chaos with Kori

The One With The Comment Section

A parent shares one hard moment online and suddenly the comments section is full of experts. In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I’m talking about the way people react when parents of autistic and high-support-needs kids share the difficult parts of their lives. From “put him in a facility” to “you just need more discipline,” the advice comes fast — usually from people who have never lived it. We’re talking aggression, burnout, residential care, judgment, support, and why sometimes parents don’t need solutions. Sometimes they just need someone to see how hard it is. Maybe they need help. Maybe they need someone to sit with them. Maybe they need a goddamn hug. Because parenting a complex kid can be beautiful, brutal, hilarious, exhausting, and completely misunderstood — sometimes all before breakfast. autism parenting, autistic children, special needs parenting, complex kids, parenting podcast, autism mom, caregiver burnout, aggressive behavior, autism aggression, high support needs autism, special needs family, parenting judgment, mom life, caregiver support, neurodivergent parenting, disability parenting, residential care, autism support, parenting struggles, real parenting, Chaos with Kori, comments section, online judgment, parent support, caregiver life

The One Where They'll Eat When They're hungry And Other Lies People Tell Parents

Season 5 is kicking off with some of the weirdest sayings we’ve somehow accepted as normal. “Blue and green should never be seen.”“A watched pot never boils.”“You can’t have your cake and eat it too.” Fine. Weird, but mostly harmless. Then parenting sayings enter the chat. “They’ll eat when they’re hungry.”“They’ll sleep when they’re tired.”“You just need to be consistent.”“You’re not disciplining them enough.” And suddenly the nonsense isn’t quite so funny. In this episode of Chaos with Kori, we’re breaking down the old sayings, parenting clichés, and unsolicited wisdom that completely fall apart when you’re raising an autistic child. Because no, some kids will not “just eat when they’re hungry,” sensory needs don’t disappear because Sharon thinks they should, and apparently I forgot to press the magical obedience button. It’s sarcastic, chaotic, slightly unhinged, and very, very real. Welcome to Season 5.

The One With Tiny Anchors

At some point, somewhere along the line, I crossed the line from “person who owns cups” to “woman whose emotional stability depends on a very specific straw-to-lid ratio.” In this Season 4 finale of Chaos with Kori, we dive deep into Stanley cup lore, emotional support beverages, tiny comfort routines, and the Starbucks refresher incident that briefly launched me into another dimension. From caffeine-fueled chaos to the strange comfort of familiar routines, this episode is about the little things that keep us grounded when life feels loud. Because maybe it was never really about the cups. Maybe it was about the tiny anchors on hard days. Grab your emotional support beverage and join me for the Season 4 wrap of Chaos with Kori.

The One With The Hallmark Bullsh*t

We were raised on soulmates, grand gestures, boomboxes over heads, and the idea that someday someone would arrive and magically make everything okay. But what happens when real life doesn’t look anything like the movies? In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I talk about the unrealistic expectations we’re sold about love, rescue, motherhood, healing, and emotional support — especially as women and moms. From Hallmark fantasies to therapy sessions squeezed between diapers, ABA, and dinner, this episode is about realizing that maybe nobody was ever meant to carry every part of us forever. Maybe soulmates aren’t people who complete us.Maybe they’re the people who walk beside us while we learn how to carry ourselves. This one is reflective, funny, a little heartbreaking, and deeply honest. And yes… Hallmark still doesn’t make “you didn’t kill yourself” cards. #ChaosWithKori#HallmarkBullshit#Motherhood#MentalHealth#EmotionalLabor#SelfWorth#Soulmates#HealingJourney#PodcastLife#WomenWhoPodcast#TherapyThoughts#ParentingReality#RealTalk#Overthinking#EmotionalSupportStanley#LifeNotMovies#PersonalGrowth#MomLife#HealingIsMessy#ChaosQueen

The One Where I am Learning to Let Go and I hate It

I thought I was just being responsible. Turns out… I might be controlling everything just to feel safe. In this episode, I talk about: why I can’t “stand down”what my brain does when I leave the housethe moment I almost skipped a medical appointment because I couldn’t let goand how control slowly started making my world smallerNo neat ending. No fix. Just me, figuring it out in real time. #ChaosWithKori #MentalHealthPodcast #AnxietyTalk #LettingGo #ControlIssues #MomLifeUnfiltered #RealTalkPodcast #EmotionalGrowth #SelfAwareness #PodcastLife #ParentingReality #AnxietySupport #Overthinking #NervousSystem #HealingInProgress #HonestPodcast #WomenInPodcasting #LifeInProgress #TrustTheProcess #PodcastCommunity

The One for Lily & The Emotional Medic Who Tried

Some episodes are planned.Some are written. And some… just come from a place you can’t ignore. Yesterday was Lily’s birthday. In this episode, I talk about the kind of grief that doesn’t always have words—the quiet kind that sits underneath everything while life keeps moving. I share what it feels like to be someone who fixes things, who pours love into people… and what happens when love isn’t enough to change the outcome. This isn’t a perfect episode.It’s not polished. It’s just honest. If you’ve ever loved deeply, lost something that should have stayed, or carried a version of life that never got to happen… this one is for you. Happy birthday, Lily. 💛 #ChaosWithKori#TheOneForLily#GriefJourney#Motherhood#LossAndLove#HealingThroughStory#EmotionalMedic#RealTalkPodcast#PodcastLife#HonestConversations#MentalHealthAwareness#GriefSupport#LifeAfterLoss#StorytellingPodcast#WomenInPodcasting

The One With The Shit Covered Cherries

You ever feel like life hands you something good… and then immediately dumps on it? In this episode of Chaos with Kori, I talk about what I’ve started calling the “shit-covered cherry” effect — that pattern where you finally find your footing, start becoming the version of yourself you’ve been working toward… and then something blindsides you. After a therapy breakthrough, I thought I was finally expanding into who I wanted to be. Then came the worst pain of my life, an unexpected diagnosis, and a 9:30 p.m. MRI in my pajamas. This episode is about catastrophizing, body betrayal, motherhood fears, music as emotional processing (thank you Ronnie Radke and Florence), and what it means to brace for a fight you didn’t ask for. It’s not inspirational. It’s not tied up neatly. It’s just real. And for what it’s worth… I don’t even like cherries. #ChaosWithKori #ChronicPain #SpineHealth #MRI #MentalHealthPodcast #TherapyJourney #Catastrophizing #Motherhood #ParentingWithAnxiety #HealthScare #PersonalGrowth #EmotionalProcessing #LastResort #FlorenceAndTheMachine #LifeUpdates #Resilience #WomenInPodcasting
