This week, we’re taking a drive down a very special road—Saylee Jean Lane. For 19 years, my daughter Saylee has been teaching me about autism, resilience, joy, and what it really means to find hope in the unexpected.

From preschool field trips and candid 5x7 miracles… to talent shows, dance recitals, and even a football field crowned Homecoming Queen moment (yes, with fireworks!)—this journey is full of detours, pit stops, and surprise lane changes.

Along the way, we’ll make “hope deposits,” laugh at some brutally honest kid commentary, and see how the little girl who once smeared poop on walls grew into an artist, performer, and light to everyone who meets her.

This isn’t just her story—it’s ours. And if you’ve ever felt lost on your own road, I promise there’s a tank full of hope waiting for you here too.

Grab your snacks (I’ve got my Trader Joe’s Cinni Dragons 🍬🐉), buckle up, and let’s ride.

This week, we’re flipping the script—literally—and I’m answering YOUR questions! From the struggle of memorizing lyrics to the lost art of giving compliments, to parenting non-verbal toddlers, to why I proudly wear my weirdo badge… we’re covering it all.

It’s part comedy, part therapy, and part reminder that you don’t actually have to care what anyone thinks (because spoiler alert: they’re not thinking about you anyway).

Got a question for your weird mom? Send it my way on Instagram @yourmomsweirdpod and you just might hear it on a future Q&A episode!

Grab your snack, grab your bevvy, and let’s get weird.

In this episode, Kristen takes a hilariously honest stroll through the ever-evolving (and sometimes bewildering) concept of identity. From the names we answer to, to the roles we grow into — and out of — she dives into how we can get stuck thinking our “self” is fixed, when really, it’s more like a thrift store outfit we keep swapping pieces of. Expect confessions, pop culture tangents, and one or two “did she just say that?” moments as Kristen unpacks the joy, awkwardness, and freedom of redefining who you are… and why sometimes, losing parts of yourself might be the most “you” thing you could ever do.

You ever look back at your life and realize… oh wait, I was the moment?

In this episode, I unpack my lifelong journey with confidence — from rhythm skating at a junior high talent show to DJing a holiday party gone rogue, to fully embracing spiritual twerking at Burn Bootcamp. It’s about “confidence cosplay,” the 7 types of confidence (yes, seven), and how pretending to be confident isn’t fake — it’s rehearsal.

We’re talking:

What Blink-182, Doja Cat, and Danity Kane all taught me about confidence

Main character moments (the awkward, the loud, the sacred)

The science behind self-belief

Letting your past self fill your tank when your current self is running on E

This one's funny, a little feral, very real, and totally made for weird moms and recovering wallflowers.

Feeling guilty for literally everything? Yeah, same.
This episode is your permission slip to stop spiraling and start giving yourself grace — the real kind, not the embroidered pillow kind. We talk guilt, science, weird mom history, tortilla-based coping mechanisms, and what it looks like to actually root for yourself (even when dinner’s just cereal).

Because you deserve grace — no matter how many unread school emails are haunting you.

I’m your favorite weird mom friend — the one with a story to tell, a treatsie in her bag, and a wildly inappropriate joke ready on deck. I’m a mom of six, including three amazing kids with special needs, just trying to survive bus pick-ups, teenage drama, sensory overload, and the occasional existential crisis.

I’m weird, wildly honest, and always hunting for the beauty in the mess. On Your Mom’s Weird Podcast, I share real stories, hard-earned lessons, and heartfelt conversations that’ll make you laugh, cry, and hopefully feel a little less alone.
