Hey friend,

Do you crash every time you finally push through your to-do list?

Does getting “just a few things done” feel like it costs your whole afternoon or evening?

What would change if you could protect your energy while still showing up for your life?

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’m breaking down why simple tasks feel so draining for chronic illness moms — especially during the holidays — and how to prevent a flare while still getting things done. I share three nervous-system friendly strategies that protect your energy, reduce stress, and help you stay out of burnout mode. These tools fit into real life, real motherhood, and real limitations.
