Simple Daily Habits To Feel Better As Moms With Neurodivergent Kids


**TOP 2% Globally Ranked Podcast**


Do you wake up already exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get?
Does brain fog make it hard to think straight or keep up with your kids?
Do you feel guilty for resting even though your body is worn out?
Are you trying to take care of your health without adding more stress to an already full plate?

Welcome to Chronic Illness Moms — a podcast for moms living with chronic illness while raising neurodivergent kids. If you’re dealing with constant fatigue, inflammation, and overwhelm, this is your place to find support that actually fits real life.

Here we focus on simple, healthy habits that help you get better sleep, reduce stress, and feel better in your body — without complicated routines or pressure to do more. These are small, doable shifts that work with your energy instead of against it.

I’m Ashley — a wife, mom, and health coach who’s spent years navigating chronic symptoms, burnout, and a body that wouldn’t keep up. I tried the strict plans, the supplements, and the “just push through” approach — and all it did was leave me more exhausted.

What finally helped was learning how to support my nervous system and build tiny habits that actually worked in real mom life. Now I help other moms do the same so they can have more energy, think more clearly, and show up for their families without falling apart.

If you’re ready for natural, realistic ways to feel better — even in the middle of neurodivergent family life — you’re in the right place.


So grab your herbal tea, hide in the laundry room if you have to, let’s start building habits that help you feel better again.

    197. The Missing Step That Keeps Natural Remedies from Getting Used on Sick Days
    Feb 1 2026

    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)

    195. Brain Fog and Fatigue? How Simplifying Decisions Helps Boost Energy
    Jan 26 2026

    Hey friend,

    Why do I feel mentally exhausted before I even start my day?

    Why does making decisions feel so hard with chronic illness and a neurodivergent home?

    Can simple routines really reduce decision fatigue?

    Hi friend, 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 find steadier footing — even in the middle of a full, demanding life.

    In this episode, I explain how decision fatigue drains your energy — especially when you’re living with chronic illness and parenting in a neurodivergent home — and why your nervous system needs fewer choices, not more willpower.

    You’ll learn how to create simple defaults, pre-decisions, and gentle routines that reduce mental load, support your nervous system, and make everyday life feel more manageable.
