Hey friend,

Why is it so hard to use natural remedies once I actually feel sick?

What helps when brain fog and fatigue make decision-making feel impossible?

How can I make sick days easier without adding more to my plate?

I’m Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you’re dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you’re not alone.

This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms — even in the middle of a full, demanding life.

When sickness hits, energy and mental clarity are often the first things to go. In this episode, I talk about why natural remedies often go unused on sick days — not because you don’t care or don’t know what helps, but because brain fog and fatigue make decision-making harder in the moment.

I share why having a few familiar supports ready before sickness hits is what actually makes natural remedies usable when you feel bad. I also walk through how I think about sick-day support in my own home, in a simple, realistic way that doesn’t add pressure or require perfection.

Natural remedies I mention in this episode:

• Oscillococcinum (early flu-like symptoms)

• Magnesium cream (achy, restless bodies)

• Elderberry

• Raw honey

• Cod liver oil

• Lymphatic cream (congestion, heaviness, “stuck” feeling)
