100 | Because You Showed Up: What 99 Episodes Taught Me About Strength and Story

What I’ve Learned from 100 Episodes (And What’s Next)
🎉 Milestone Episode! 🎉

Welcome to the 100th episode of Especially Organized: Sensible Solutions for Special Needs Moms! In this very special episode, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the journey — from launching this podcast with zero experience to building a space that has reached listeners across more than 35 countries.

Over the past two years, I've spent 500+ hours creating content aimed at helping moms raising disabled children feel a little more organized, empowered, and seen. In this episode, I share:

• Lessons learned about podcasting, connection, and community

• The power of presence and storytelling in disability parenting

• A few favorite episodes that resonated deeply with listeners

• Why showing up — for yourself, your child, and your community — truly matters

I also open up about how my daughter continues to inspire me to show up authentically and joyfully, and why I believe every parent in this community deserves to feel that their presence has impact.

🌟 Plus: I’m taking a short break! I’ll be back later this year with refreshed content, powerful conversations, and — yes — more hugs and Red Bulls.
