Description

In this deeply personal solo episode, Ashley opens up about the raw, often invisible weight of managing constant life interruptions as a caregiver to an autistic child. She shares candid reflections on the isolation that creeps in—even when surrounded by others—and the emotional toll of being misunderstood by a world that isn’t built for neurodivergent families. From missed plans to emotional burnout, Ashley explores what it really means to hold everything together when no one sees the cracks. This episode is a lifeline for anyone who’s ever felt alone in the chaos—and a gentle call for greater compassion and awareness from the neurotypical world.
