Hey friend,

Are you always tired, foggy, or inflamed — even on days when you don’t do much?

Do you forget to drink water because your nervous system is already maxed out by the pace and sensory load of your home?

What would change if one simple habit made it easier to get through the day without pushing yourself?

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 walk you through one of the simplest ways to support your body when you’re dealing with chronic symptoms in a high-stress, neurodivergent household: hydration.

You’ll learn how drinking about half your body weight in water supports inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, cortisol levels, joint comfort, and nervous system balance — all things that are heavily affected by stress, poor sleep, and constant emotional and sensory demand.

I also share practical ways to make hydration fit into real life, even when your days are busy, loud, unpredictable, and low on energy.
