In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Melissa Schulz, a Parenting Coach that specializes in supporting parents of strong-willed, highly sensitive and neurodiverse kids. Melissa has spent her entire professional life supporting kids with behavioral and emotional needs, but it was her personal experiences at home as a working mom of three kids, two of whom are neurodiverse, that truly shaped her perspective and understanding – one that mirrors those of so many others she helps.
Together we talk about the emotional load and unique challenges that come with raising strong-willed, highly sensitive and neurodiverse kids. Melissa shares personal moments where she felt like she was at her breaking point, things that keep her grounded on her hardest days, and what she wishes more people knew.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
