In this episode, Lise and Nicci pull back the curtain on who they were long before Netflix's Love on the Spectrum. Lise opens up about rebuilding her life as a single mom to four kids with very little money and no roadmap. Nicci shares her journey from a shy, insecure young woman to a confident autism advocate, nurse, stay-at-home mom, and fitness lover. And how her husband Mark helped shape who she is today.

If you're a special needs parent, an autism mom, a fan of Love on the Spectrum, or someone navigating a busy family, this episode will make you feel seen.
