Two Blondes and Diapers

In this week’s episode, we open up about the reality of stepping into unfamiliar spaces and having to speak up for our kids. This episode is for any parent who has ever walked into a room and felt like they had to explain, defend, or translate their child’s experience. You’re not alone in that feeling. Pull up a seat while we unpack how complicated advocacy and inclusion can feel for families like ours.

Motherhood often comes with a long list of expectations, many of them unspoken, unrealistic, and exhausting. In this week’s episode, we talk about what it looks like to redefine motherhood when you’re raising a child with disabilities. Instead of measuring ourselves against outside opinions, social media, or outdated ideas of what a “good mom” should be, we are choosing a different path that makes space for rest, boundaries, and caring for ourselves too.

This conversation is about letting go of perfection, tuning out the noise, and redefining what motherhood looks like for our families to find our own peace and joy.

Maggie shares a big life update and it opens the door to a bigger conversation about mental health, motherhood, and the unrealistic expectation that we should be able to handle everything on our own. Raising kids with disabilities requires resilience but resilience doesn’t mean self-sacrifice. It doesn’t mean white-knuckling anxiety. And it definitely doesn’t mean refusing help.

As parents raising kids with disabilities, we often become the coordinators, advocates, researchers, case managers, and emotional anchors for our families. Staying in control can feel like the only way to keep our kids safe and supported. But what happens when that constant vigilance starts to cost us? Pull up a seat and join us for a chat.

Judgment and criticism are part of life as caregivers to kids with disabilities but that doesn’t make them easier. In this episode, we open up about the comments, assumptions, and moments that hurt, and how we’ve learned to cope, grow, and keep going. An honest conversation for caregivers who are doing their best in a world that doesn’t always get it.

Friendships can get complicated when you’re raising a child with a disability and in this episode, we’re talking about the messy and often unspoken parts of that reality. From friendships that quietly fade, to the ones that surprise you by stepping up, we dive in to how caregiving changes our social lives in ways we never expected. Whether you’re struggling to maintain old friendships, navigating new ones, or just wondering if anyone else feels this way too, you’re not alone. This episode is an honest conversation about connection, loss, and learning to ask (and accept) help along the way.

We’re kicking off Season 3 with a conversation that’s been everywhere lately...the release of the Autism Barbie. From toys to TV shows to movies, representation of disability is finally becoming more visible… but is it meaningful? And who is it really for?

In this episode, we share our honest reactions to seeing autism represented in a mainstream toy, what it brings up for us as parents, and how representation (or the lack of it) has shaped our kids’ experiences. We talk about the wins, the misses, and the complicated feelings that come with watching the world try to include our children.

In this bonus episode, we step outside our roles as disability parents and talk about us. The things we love, the things that light us up, the parts of our identities that existed long before diagnoses, appointments, and advocacy, and the ones we’re still rediscovering now.

Caregiving can be all-consuming, and it’s easy to feel like your entire identity gets swallowed by the role. This conversation is a reminder that we are still whole people: women with interests, opinions, humor, and dreams beyond caregiving.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or someone who’s felt yourself get lost along the way, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with us, and maybe with yourself too. Pull up a seat and join us for this bonus conversation.

Faith can look very different when you’re parenting a child with a disability. In this episode, we talk about how our beliefs have been shaped, stretched, and challenged by our lived realities. We share the tension between hope and grief, prayer and disappointment, belonging and isolation. We also discuss how faith communities often miss the mark with disability families and what meaningful support and inclusion could look like instead.
