Are you a parent raising neurodivergent kids—while also managing your own ADHD, autism, or sensory overwhelm? Then baby, this episode of Chaos & Caffeine was brewed just for you.
Host Danielle Kelly sits down with powerhouse mama Karaleigh Garrison—a neurodivergent motivational speaker, singer, and host of the Be the Dream podcast—to talk about what it really looks like to navigate motherhood with a differently wired brain.
Together, they unpack:
- Raising children with autism, ADHD, and emotional dysregulation
- How Karaleigh turns trauma into healing through music, mindset, and self-compassion
- Real-life hacks for emotional regulation, meltdown moments, and school struggles
- Why neurodivergent moms NEED to follow their creative callings
- How to build a life that honors your unique brain—and your child's
Whether you're brand new to this journey or neck-deep in the diagnosis spiral, this episode is a heart hug, a kick in the pants, and a reminder that you are absolutely not alone.
🧠✨ Neurodivergence isn’t a flaw—it’s a superpower. And Karaleigh is living proof.
