Simple Daily Habits To Feel Better As Moms With Neurodivergent Kids **TOP 2% Globally Ranked Podcast** Do you wake up already exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get? Does brain fog make it hard to think straight or keep up with your kids? Do you feel guilty for resting even though your body is worn out? Are you trying to take care of your health without adding more stress to an already full plate? Welcome to Chronic Illness Moms — a podcast for moms living with chronic illness while raising neurodivergent kids. If you’re dealing with constant fatigue, inflammation, and overwhelm, this is your place to find support that actually fits real life. Here we focus on simple, healthy habits that help you get better sleep, reduce stress, and feel better in your body — without complicated routines or pressure to do more. These are small, doable shifts that work with your energy instead of against it. I’m Ashley — a wife, mom, and health coach who’s spent years navigating chronic symptoms, burnout, and a body that wouldn’t keep up. I tried the strict plans, the supplements, and the “just push through” approach — and all it did was leave me more exhausted. What finally helped was learning how to support my nervous system and build tiny habits that actually worked in real mom life. Now I help other moms do the same so they can have more energy, think more clearly, and show up for their families without falling apart. If you’re ready for natural, realistic ways to feel better — even in the middle of neurodivergent family life — you’re in the right place. So grab your herbal tea, hide in the laundry room if you have to, let’s start building habits that help you feel better again.
