This solo episode has been a long time coming, and I’m so grateful you’re here for it. I’m opening up about the journey we’ve been on with Carmela—sharing what it’s like navigating an autism diagnosis, the hard truths, the small wins, and why I’m more hopeful than ever. From functional medicine and light therapy to the emotional rollercoaster of parenting and advocating, I wanted to speak honestly about what’s helped, what hasn’t, and how I’ve learned to trust my gut through it all. I also answer some of your thoughtful questions about perfectionism, PCOS, manifestation, and how to embrace the chaos of your 20s. I hope this conversation brings understanding, compassion, and maybe a little inspiration.
