In this episode of The In Between Mom, I’m sharing what happened after our Disney trip, when Greyson started kindergarten and received his autism diagnosis. I talk about agreeing to a school evaluation, crying in my car after hearing how much he was struggling, and trying to understand special education for the first time.

It was a year of hard moments, little wins, and people who helped us see what Greyson needed. If you’re a mom sitting in your car after a meeting, wondering what comes next, I hope our story helps you feel a little less alone.

Welcome to The In Between Mom. I’m Kelley—a mom of two sharing the real, messy, beautiful parts of motherhood. From autism and ADHD to school, therapies, hard days, mom guilt, little victories, and everything in between, this is a place for honest conversations about the things we don’t always talk about.

I don’t have all the answers. I’m just a mom learning as I go, advocating for my kids, and sharing our story along the way. ❤️

This is motherhood in the in-between.

Disney was supposed to be a magical family vacation, but for us, it became so much more. Looking back, that trip was one of the first times I realized there might be more going on with Greyson than we understood.

In this episode, I share the moments at Disney that felt incredibly hard at the time, the things we didn’t recognize as signs yet, and how that trip ultimately became a turning point in our journey toward understanding Greyson’s autism and ADHD.

Sometimes the moments that make the least sense while we’re living them are the ones that make everything click later. ❤️

Welcome to the very first episode of The In Between Mom. 🤍 I’m Kelley, a mom of two kids with two very different journeys. In this episode, I’m sharing a little about our family, why I started this podcast, and what “the in between” means to me. From autism and ADHD to advocacy, motherhood, hard days, beautiful moments, and everything in between—this is our real life, and I’m so glad you’re here.
