• Diagnosis and Advocacy in the UK w/ Greer Jones
    Feb 9 2026

    Greer grew up in the US but moved across the pond to build her family and life abroad. Two kids and a lot of doctor and therapy appointments later, Greer has become a leading voice for autism advocacy and glimpses into neurodivergent life while living in England. We talk about the diagnosis process, what schools and therapies are and are not providing for her family, and what she is doing to change things for the better. Greer has her own podcast with a similar vibe and feel to ours. Check out the links below and listen to The Unfinished Idea.

  • Beyond the Birds & Bees: Sex Ed for Neurodivergent Children w/ Amy Lang
    Jan 26 2026

    Explicit Content Warning: This episode is not for young ears.

    In this conversation, we sit down with sex educator Amy Lang, M.A. to tackle a topic many parents avoid: sex education for neurodivergent kids.

    Amy shares her story, along with practical tools for talking about puberty, consent, boundaries, and healthy relationships. Together, they explore why using correct language matters, how to normalize sexual feelings (without shame), and the unique challenges our kids face when it comes to navigating social interactions and sexuality.

    It’s a real, raw, and important conversation designed to empower parents to show up prepared—and to replace fear with confidence.

  • Motherhood and Autism: Real Talk on Parenting, Burnout, and Balance
    Jan 19 2026

    In this episode of Moms Talk Autism, we sit down with Sarah Kernion, a mom of three—including two autistic kids—to talk about the beautifully messy reality of motherhood. Sarah shares her honest experience navigating family dynamics, raising neurodiverse children, and learning (sometimes the hard way) why caregiver self-care is not optional.

    We talk flexibility in parenting, letting go of perfection, and the power of community support when things feel overwhelming. This conversation is a reminder that being present matters more than doing everything “right”—and that none of us are meant to do this alone.

    Come for the real talk, stay for the solidarity.

  • Creating Real Work Opportunities for Neurodiverse Adults
    Jan 12 2026

    In this episode, Jean and Brittney sit down with Jacob Blaeser from Ventures ATL to talk about employment opportunities for autistic and neurodiverse adults—and why the traditional workforce often gets it wrong.

    We discuss the unemployment gap in the neurodiverse community, how Ventures ATL approaches direct employment and support, and what redefining success in the workplace really looks like. Jacob also shares insights on hiring for potential, navigating the transition to adulthood, and the importance of community, communication, and human connection at work.

    This conversation is honest, hopeful, and a reminder that meaningful employment is possible when inclusion is intentional.

  • What We’re Bringing Into 2026 (and What We’re Leaving Behind)
    Jan 5 2026

    In this episode, we’re looking ahead to 2026 and talking honestly about what we want more of (health, growth, adventures) and what we’re actively working on letting go of (burnout, guilt, and doing everything the hard way). We dive into personal and community goals, the role of accountability, and why self-care isn’t optional—even when family life is loud, busy, and occasionally unhinged.

    We also catch up on what’s new in our lives, from big purchases and learning new skills to navigating family dynamics and preparing for some major changes ahead. Along the way, we reflect on embracing change, finding balance between responsibility and fun, and how the podcast itself is evolving as we head into 2026 with a renewed focus on everyday life, community conversations, and showing up as our real, imperfect selves.

    Basically: goals, growth, a little chaos, and a lot of intention. Let’s go, 2026.

  • BONUS: Building Real Community for Moms of Neurodivergent Kids w/ Mothers Together
    Jan 3 2026

    Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2026 with a special bonus episode because this is the year to stop doing motherhood alone. This one’s all about building your support system, finding your people, and creating real community for you and your family. Let’s go.

    We’re joined by Megan Champion, the creator of Mothers Together—a first-of-its-kind global community designed specifically for moms of neurodivergent kids. Their mission? Improve moms’ mental health by fostering genuine friendships, deep connection, and a judgment-free space where you don’t have to explain yourself (because honestly… exhausting).

    Megan shares why friendship matters so much in this season of life, what makes Mothers Together different, and how this community might be exactly what you’ve been looking for—even if you’re not sure you’re a “joiner.”

    Open House enrollment happens quarterly, and the first one of 2026 kicks off January 7th. This free, virtual event lets you meet other moms, ask questions, and get a feel for what Mothers Together is all about—no pressure, no awkward icebreakers (we promise).
