Six kids. All six on the autism spectrum.

Yeah… we had questions too.

This week, Brittney and Tash sit down with Laura Wampler to talk about what it has really looked like raising a house full of neurodivergent kids—from searching for the right diagnoses and fighting for support at school to navigating therapies, crisis moments, and figuring out what actually works for each individual child.

But Laura’s story didn’t stop with her own family.

Those years of learning, advocating, and building the right team eventually led her to help other families walking the same road. We talk about that transition, why lived experience matters, and the importance of finding people who truly understand this life.

Laura also shares the story behind Unite & Uplift, a grassroots conference created specifically to give moms of neurodivergent kids something we desperately need: connection, support, and a little room to breathe.

Because sometimes finding your people changes everything.

What if some of the behaviors we’re constantly trying to manage are actually clues?

This week, Brittney and Shannon sit down with Dr. Brandon Crawford to talk about functional neurology, neuroplasticity, sensory regulation, and what may be happening underneath some of the behaviors we see in our autistic kids.

We also get into a conversation that matters a lot to us: helping our kids function more comfortably in the world is not the same thing as trying to “cure” who they are.

And then, naturally, we turn the spotlight on ourselves. Because apparently running at 99% capacity while drinking coffee and calling it self-care is not an actual nervous-system regulation strategy. Rude.

We talk caregiver stress, sunlight, sleep, cold exposure, slowing down, and why taking care of ourselves may matter more than we’d like to admit.

There’s a LOT in this one. Take what feels useful, stay curious, and—as Brittney reminds us—please do not leave this episode believing you have to change seventeen things about your life by tomorrow.

Note: This episode is for informational purposes only and is not medical advice. We’re sharing one professional’s perspective and encourage you to do your own research and consult with your child’s healthcare team before making changes to care or treatment.

This week, Brittney shares a family update: one son is finding his independence, while another’s cancer diagnosis has brought a whole new set of decisions and emotions.

We talk about what it’s like to get hard news, care for a child with complex needs, and accept help when you’re used to holding everything together. It’s an honest conversation about fear, support, and figuring out the next step as you go.
