This week on The NeuroSpicy MomPod, I’m joined by the brilliant and compassionate Elaine — a fellow neurodivergent parent who’s here to share her real, raw, and incredibly insightful journey navigating the public education system for her child.

From advocating in broken systems to finding small wins that make a huge impact, Elaine offers validation, encouragement, and practical strategies for parents walking a similar path. We talk about the messy middle — the challenges, the advocacy, the moments that made her feel empowered, and the advice she wishes someone had given her when she was just starting out.

✨ Whether you’re new to IEP meetings or a seasoned pro battling burnout, this episode is a must-listen for any parent trying to support their neurospicy kid in a system that often misses the mark.
