Motherhood & Neurodivergence in a World That Hasn’t Caught Up with Amanda Losch

Motherhood is already complex, but when neurodivergence, medical needs, and systemic gaps are part of the picture, the challenges (and the growth) can feel overwhelming. In this episode, Emily is joined by Amanda Losch, a complex trauma therapist and neurodivergent mom, to unpack the realities of raising neurodivergent children while navigating your own late diagnosis, overstimulation, rage, shame, and the myths of the “perfect mother.”

You’ll hear about:

• Amanda’s late autism diagnosis alongside her child’s journey
• The hidden rage and sensory overload so many moms experience
• Breaking down shame and finding self-compassion in motherhood
• Creative ways to navigate hygiene, potty training, and daily care
• The harmful narratives around autism and why systemic support is desperately needed
• Why self-care and community care matter for parents of neurodivergent kids

This conversation is real, raw, and full of validation for every mom who has ever thought, “I didn’t think I’d be this way as a mom.” If this episode resonated with you, follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with another mama who needs to hear she’s not alone.
