I love getting to share people's stories because I feel like when we hear others that are going through similar things, it helps us feel less alone on our journey. I also know first hand that many neurodiverse women have struggled for a long time with being undiagnosed and unheard. So today I wanted to share Shannon's story with you as she talks with me about learning how to navigate this world as a later in life diagnosed neurodiverse woman and how she has learned to be her best advocate. Shannon wants to remind us all that YOU are the world's foremost expert in the study of You. Shannon MacFarlane works as a photographer, artist, and dog trainer in Tacoma, WA. She has spent 2023 learning kung fu, eating lots of cookies without regrets, and taking care of her nervous system. Shannon is a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHDer with a pathological demand avoidance upgrade who is relieved to finally understand why the world seems so different!Connect with Shannon:Website - https://www.slobberedlens.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/slobberedlensInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/slobberedlens/I'm Sarah -  a neuro-spicy warrior, homeschooling boy mom, devoted wife, and passionate business owner.

Just a huge warning here - I am laying out some parts of my journey I don't often share so it may be a bit much for some. Hey hey mama! I found an amazing podcast a while back called My Invisible Disease and I reached out to the hosts, Jenny and Kassy, and shared with them how much it meant to me what they were sharing. As someone who lives with an "invisible disease" it is so hard sometimes because the outside world just does not understand certain pieces of your life. Well these amazing ladies actually invited me on the show to share my story! So today I am sharing my interview from their show. I hope you love it and remember I do get a little graphic with it at times as Crohn's is not a pretty thing. Want to hear more from Jenny and Kassy?

Hey hey mama! When I connected with Laura, her story blew me away.  Raising 10 children, raising 3 children with FASD, and adding 6 of those children to the family over the course of only 4 years! Any one of those is an amazing feat but all three?! Laura saw that the typical routines and family organization ideas didn't fit with a family like hers, so she dug in, put in the work, and created one that did! Now she helps other moms who need a different approach to calming their chaos at home. Laura is a wife and mama to 10 amazing people. She is the founder of Mama Systems, a coaching business that helps mamas bring peace to their homes through systems so they can be intentional with their people and show up as the best mama possible.Laura also has another episode on the podcast coming out soon where she talks about what FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) really looks like and how it impacts a family.

Hey hey mama and welcome to Calming the Chaos with Sarah! A big part of this podcast for me is connecting you with mamas who have a story that inspires you and gives you hope. And that is what Alyse's story is: an inspiration.  Alyse kept pushing when she knew her daughter needed extra support despite so many not listening to her. And she kept pushing until she found someone who did listen! Join us today as she shares her journey of learning to be relentless as a parent of a child with special needs.Alyse Johnson-Chilla is a mom, wife, full-time teacher,  part-time student and entrepreneur. She has two young kids aged 6 and 3. Her oldest had a complicated third trimester of pregnancy and was born premature. As a result, they have faced developmental delays their entire life. It took more than 18 months of relentless advocacy and repeated evaluations before her oldest received the services she needed. As a result, her 6 year old had an IEP at 3 years old and entered kindergarten with supports in place for a successful transition. When she is not advocating for her children, Alyse is a full time high school biology teacher, pursuing a Master's in Biological Sciences, and runs her own business writing curriculum to support science teachers: Keystone Science. In what little free time she has, Alyse enjoys doing anything outdoors: running, gardening, hiking, swimming, and dining al fresco.Here are the links for the listening and viewing guides Alyse created for her business Keystone Science.Listening Guide: https://keystonesciencepa.ck.page/93166fdc53?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=calmingchaospodoct2023Viewing Guide: https://keystonesciencepa.ck.page/64e80afd77?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=calmingchaospodoct2023You can also check out Alyse's other links here:https://smart.bio/keystone_science/I'm Sarah -  a neuro-spicy warrior, homeschooling boy mom, devoted wife, and passionate business owner.

But once she managed to do it, she wanted to share her story and approach with other parents to help them feel less alone and give them hope for the light at the end of the tunnel!“We don't fail in our parenting.

She helps weary Caregivers prioritize their whole health in Christ beginning with REST. Join us today as we talk about caregivers' needs and rest and what that looks like. When I first met Adriana a few months ago, I knew immediately that I wanted her as a podcast guest! I have found resources for so many areas of our lives but have not really seen something out there truly supporting us as caregivers. In so many ways, our caregiver role needs nurturing and supporting more than all the others because if we aren't caring for ourselves, we eventually won't be able to keep caring for others.Adriana Watt is a mom of 4, registered nurse, caregiver coach, and founder of Framing Your Whole Health in Christ. Adriana combines her 2 decades of caring for and educating women and families in critical care and community health settings, her experience in serving in various ministry roles, and her nursing background with her experience being a homeschool mama to her children with various medical and learning needs, her own personal health struggles, and her love of Christ. Adriana is passionate about helping the weary Christian caregiver prioritize whole health in Christ while serving others well beginning with rest. Connect with Adriana Watt -https://www.adrianawatt.com/https://www.instagram.com/adriana_watt_wholehealth/I'm Sarah -  a neuro-spicy warrior, homeschooling boy mom, devoted wife, and passionate business owner.

Hey hey mama! Are you neurodiverse? Do you feel like you have tried all the systems to get your home organized but none of them seem to work for you? You are not lazy or unorganized! You just need a different approach that works with the way you process! Join me today as Alyssa from Alyssa's Yellow House shares about the systems she developed to help make organization make sense!Through a series of life turns (we all know how those happen) Alyssa found herself at home and feeling frustrated that despite all of her efforts, her home didn't seem to feel organized. So Alyssa took her background in psychology and created systems that worked with her brain in a way that felt more intuitive. Then she started seeing so many around her struggling like she had been and reaching out for her help. So Alyssa's Yellow House was born! Now Alyssa takes the approach of knowing there are so many different ways to do things so the key is to find what works for you and your household. And that's what she does! Helps you understand the things that are truly getting in your way and helps you to create a system to find the path that is right for you! Connect with Alyssa - Her Website @ https://ayh.alyssasyellowhouse.com/Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/alyssasyellowhouse/Facebook Group @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/alyssasyellowhouse/I'm Sarah -  a neuro-spicy warrior, homeschooling boymom, devoted wife, and passionate business owner.

Hey hey mama! Today I have Philippa Robinson on the show with me again.  Join us as we talk about having self compassion when we have a hard time accepting help, how to reduce our anxiety by not over-planning, and how to learn to listen to our body when it begs us to slow down. We also chat about balancing control, figuring out what needs to be controlled, and what control we can let go of. Philippa Robinson studied law at university and she spent most of her career exploring the UK, subconsciously seeking "home". She settled in the beautiful city of Bristol where she now lives with her husband, two teenage sons and Bob the dog. During her own personal transformation, through healing childhood trauma and learning to love and live for herself, she arrived at her soul mission to guide people to be the truest versions of themselves because she believes that is where the joy is in life and it's the greatest gift we can give ourselves.You can find Philippa --her website @ https://www.safeandsupported.co.uk/-Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/safeandsupportedcoaching/-LinkedIn @ https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippa-robinson-513a05203/-Buy her book! @ https://amzn.to/3DPvIczI'm Sarah -  a neuro-spicy warrior, homeschooling boymom, devoted wife, and passionate business owner.

Hey hey mama! Today, we dig into mom guilt with Emily Gorrie, the host of the Project: Mom Podcast.  Mom guilt is a huge part of our society and we need more moms to talk about it so we can all acknowledge it and find ways to move past it. In our conversation, we tackle the impact of ALLOWING ourselves to question these feelings of guilt instead of avoiding them; the importance of talking about the hard parts of motherhood; and the power of validating each others' experiences.Emily is the voice behind the Project: Mom Podcast, a podcast that shares the stories of women who are navigating the intersection of motherhood and entrepreneurship.  She is a full time mom with a corporate sales and entrepreneurial background. Her daughter, Olive, was born in Dec 2020 and her life has never been the same. The fact that she half expected it to return to normal is why she created her podcast.  Emily is huge believer in supporting moms who also have entrepreneurial dreams. So in addition to inspirational and motivational support through this podcast, she also offers tangible project based work.Connect with Emily:- Project Mom Free Resources https://www.projectmompodcast.com/free-resources-Project Based Services https://www.emilygorrie.com/-Project: Mom Podcast https://www.projectmompodcast.com/episodes I'm Sarah - a wife, homeschooling / unschooling mom, and a neurodiverse woman who has battled autoimmune disease my whole life.

Also tune in to hear about "The Penny Concept" and how to use it to get forward momentum with your goals!Suzanne Culberg is an international mindset coach, speaker and author, who helps over-givers and people pleasers learn to say ‘No' to others in a way that feels good, so that they can say ‘Yes' to themselves. Through her signature online program Why W8? Suzanne has helped hundreds of women break the cycle of putting themselves last and instead build the confidence to set boundaries. Suzanne's passion for helping women is fueled by her own experiences of over-giving, over-consuming, and over-doing everything. She's on a mission to not only help women set boundaries for themselves but also to make boundaries normal. We should be saying ‘No' more often. Suzanne lives in Sydney, Australia with her husband Jeremy and her two young children who keep her both busy and entertained.

"Find out who you are and do it on purpose." - Dolly Parton If that doesn't completely sum up my guest today, I don't know what does!  Join me today for part two of my interview with author, speaker, and justice advocate, Di Ciruolo.  Today Di and I dig into her journey through the foster care system and how she went from having never experienced a true mother to becoming the first mother for her children.  Di Ciruolo's first book Ally Up, discussed her experiences supporting tech people departments through growing their equity awareness building programs both in the US and abroad. Di's second book, Indomitable, is a more personal book which details her experiences as a ward of the state in the Massachusetts foster care system.  Her life growing up on the outside as a foster kid with neurodiversity has given her a unique understanding of humanness that informs her practice and her life. Di's passion is freeing other humans from the guilt and self-harm that can come from trauma and loss, and she has a love/hate relationship with public speaking.Connect with Di:Buy indomitable: A Foster Care Story   https://diciruolo.com/store/p/indomitable-a-foster-care-story-preorder Instagram     https://www.instagram.com/diciruolo/LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/diciruolo/Facebook   https://www.facebook.com/DiCiruoloHer Website     https://diciruolo.com/I'm Sarah - a wife, homeschooling / unschooling mom, and a neurodiverse woman who has battled autoimmune disease my whole life.

"Find out who you are and do it on purpose." - Dolly Parton.   If that doesn't completely sum up my guest today, I don't know what does! Join me today for part one of a two part interview with author, speaker, and justice advocate, Di Ciruolo. Di and I connected over our neurodiversity and she shared how she uses her voice to be an ally for  both the queer community and the neurodiverse community. Di is known for her work in DEIB in the tech world. Her first book Ally Up, discussed her experiences supporting tech people departments through growing their equity awareness building programs both in the US and abroad. Di's second book, Indomitable, is a more personal book which details her experiences as a ward of the state in the Massachusetts foster care system. (We dig way into the book and her childhood next week on part two.) Her life growing up on the outside as a foster kid with neurodiversity has given her a unique understanding of humanness that informs her practice and her life. Di's passion is freeing other humans from the guilt and self-harm that can come from trauma and loss, and she has a love/hate relationship with public speaking.Connect with Di:Instagram     https://www.instagram.com/diciruolo/LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/diciruolo/Facebook   https://www.facebook.com/DiCiruoloHer Website     https://diciruolo.com/I'm Sarah - a wife, homeschooling / unschooling mom, and a neurodiverse woman who has battled autoimmune disease my whole life.

Hey hey mama! On today's episode, we get real with guest Suzanne Culberg about learning to say no without feeling bad about it, how to articulate what you actually need from those around you, and how to become boundaried AF!Suzanne Culberg is an international mindset coach, speaker and author, who helps over-givers and people pleasers learn to say ‘No' to others in a way that feels good, so that they can say ‘Yes' to themselves. Through her signature online program Why W8? Suzanne has helped hundreds of women break the cycle of putting themselves last and instead build the confidence to set boundaries. Suzanne's passion for helping women is fueled by her own experiences of over-giving, over-consuming, and over-doing everything. She's on a mission to not only help women set boundaries for themselves but also to make boundaries normal. We should be saying ‘No' more often. Suzanne lives in Sydney, Australia with her husband Jeremy and her two young children who keep her both busy and entertained. When she's not coaching, she can be found reading, enjoying Diamond Dotz, or burlesque dancing. She is also a big fan of Yoga.Connect with Suzanne!
