    Not Big Enough to Lose It Over: Masking, Alexithymia and the Cost of Holding It Together

    You did the driving and the dinner, held it together to the edge of the table, and someone decided it wasn't big enough to lose it over. Then you agreed with them. This episode names that cost. Prynsecc walks through the days in her own story she doesn't dress up, then names the mechanism underneath: alexithymia, which a 2019 research review found in roughly half of the autistic people studied, means many of us read ourselves late. Add masking, and two readers get you wrong, the room and you. She explains why hair keeps the record anyway: stress-related shedding tends to show up two to three months after the stressor, which makes your hair an honest readout of a season you already pushed through. Includes a short check you can do with a baby on your hip: jaw, shoulders, hands, breath. “I don't know” counts.

    Your Failure Résumé Is a Treasure Map: A Short Practice for Moms Who've Tried Everything

    You've tried everything, and you've got the list to prove it. This short practice episode of Grounded & In Full Color turns that list into something you can use. Ebonye, a late self-recognized autistic and ADHD mom of three, calls hers a failure résumé: twenty-something things she tried that didn't stick, from courses to a coloring book to day trading. Here she walks you through reading your own the way she learned to read hers, as a treasure map. Three things that didn't work, two questions for each (what's here, and what can I use?), and a star on whatever keeps showing up. It's the idea at the heart of her first book, The Anchor Effect: your buried treasure exists because of your struggles. There's a version for days you've got nothing left: one item, one question, said out loud.

    Why a Neurodivergent Mom of Three Wrote a Book in the Middle of All This

    Why would a late self-recognized autistic and ADHD mom of three write a book in the middle of everything? Season three of Grounded & In Full Color opens with the real answer, and it isn't the tidy one. Prynsecc tells the story behind The Anchor Effect, her first book (ships January 8, 2027): two years mostly alone in a 750-square-foot apartment, the day she caught herself handing her mother's resentment down to her kids, a failure résumé more than twenty bullet points long, and the video that got 453 views. Then the turn: a book taught her brain a system that stuck + her hair kept telling the truth when she couldn't. You'll hear why hair is the last inch of your nervous system, what she means by an anchor, and the question to ask yourself first: what in your life is already working without your effort?

    Season 3 Starts *Next* Week!

    I had a plan for Season 3. Then my calendar reminded me that plans are, apparently, a suggestion. 😂 Season 3 of Grounded & In Full Color starts next Tuesday—and this season, I’m building The Anchor Effect out loud. For the next six weeks, we’re talking motherhood, overstimulation, neurodivergence, sensory logic, capacity, and the weird little rules our brains make for very good reasons. No fixing first. No mountaintop advice. Just naming what’s happening from the middle of it. And yes, we’re talking about the book. 📖 Learn more about The Anchor Effect: https://prynseccebonye.com/book You’re not behind. You’re not broken. And you’re allowed to start on the “wrong” day and still start. Season 3 begins next Tuesday. Let’s go.

    Who Teaches You How to Carry Yourself When You Enter a Bigger Room?

    I’ve been thinking about something that sounds superficial until I actually sit with it: Who teaches you how to carry yourself when your life gets bigger? My husband once told me about something he remembers Jamie Foxx saying to his daughter about dating and tax brackets—the basic idea being that someone without experience of your lifestyle might not understand everything that comes with it. Whether or not I’ve got that quote exactly right, the idea stuck with me. Because then I started thinking about Zendaya. Keke Palmer. Women I’ve watched grow into public lives while appearing composed, articulate, playful, confident, and able to move through rooms where being misunderstood can become very public. And I started wondering: Can you study that? As a late self-recognized autistic and ADHD woman who has spent a lot of time thinking about communication, I’m fascinated by the possibility of deliberately learning presence—not to become somebody else, but to have more choices when I enter rooms I wasn’t raised knowing how to navigate. Maybe confidence isn’t only something you either have or don’t. Maybe some of it is a language. And maybe languages can be learned.

    I Went Looking for My Most Recent Failure—and Found My Success Instead

    What was your most recent failure—and what did it teach you? I sat with that question expecting an answer. Instead, I realized I couldn’t immediately recall my most recent failure. Not because I haven’t failed spectacularly before. I have. And not because I’ve somehow entered a season where failure can’t find me. Please. I couldn’t answer because when I looked around, I kept finding evidence of things that are actually working. I handle money differently now. My children and I have found a rhythm with homeschooling. I’m supporting my husband while carrying ten-hour childcare days with a level of ease and peace I once wouldn’t have associated with my life. The anxiety isn’t running the whole operation anymore. And that realization made me emotional because I know what it feels like to fail big. In this episode of Grounded & In Full Color, I’m sitting with the strange relationship between failure, growth, motherhood, and success—and why I’m becoming a little less afraid of the failures I know are still coming.

    They’re Not Terrible Twos. They’re Tiny Humans Experiencing a Terrible Time

    The whining. The crying. The dramatic collapse because the banana was broken in half. The tantrum over the thing you absolutely did not think was going to become a thing. And then there’s the phrase we reach for almost automatically: “terrible twos.” But what if we stopped labeling an entire developmental stage—and therefore an entire child—as terrible? Because here’s the uncomfortable part: adults have tantrums too. We just tend to give ours better vocabulary, more socially acceptable explanations, and occasionally a little flair. We call it frustration, overwhelm, stress, burnout, being triggered, having a bad day, or “needing a minute.” A toddler cries because their cup is the wrong color and suddenly they’re “terrible.” This episode explores the mirror children hold up for us: the whining, protesting, negotiating, emotional outbursts, and irrationality we recognize in them because—if we’re honest—we still do versions of those exact things ourselves. And I’m questioning whether we should be so quick to speak the word terrible over our children in the first place. Because if we’re already carrying cultural baggage about what a “terrible mother” or “terrible parent” looks like, why would we want to build a family narrative around having a “terrible child”? Maybe the goal isn’t to pretend the behavior isn’t exhausting. Maybe it’s to stop confusing difficult behavior with a difficult child.

    What If I’m Not Lazy? What If I’ve Never Been Allowed to Build My Own Rhythm?

    What happens when you’ve spent most of your life living according to somebody else’s schedule? School bells. Work shifts. Deadlines. Attendance. Appointments. Pickup times. Other people’s expectations. The rhythms of institutions that tell you where you’re supposed to be, when you’re supposed to be there, and what you’re supposed to be doing. And then you decide you want something different. You start questioning the schedules, structures, and rhythms you’ve been conditioned to live inside. You want more autonomy. More flexibility. More freedom. You want to detox from the idea that productivity has to look like a traditional workday or that every hour needs to be externally accounted for. But there’s a strange paradox: when you remove all the structure, you don’t necessarily feel free. Sometimes you feel lost. Sometimes you become anxious. Sometimes every day feels like you’re starting from scratch. And sometimes you eventually discover something surprising: routine can actually create freedom. Not because somebody else told you what to do, but because you decided what your life needs to look like. When you know what’s happening, when it’s happening, how you’re going to approach it, and—most importantly—why, your nervous system doesn’t have to spend the entire day negotiating with uncertainty. This episode is about the difference between externally imposed structure and self-created structure, and the relief that can come when you finally build a rhythm that belongs to you.
