Drawing from my own experience, we discuss neurodivergence, motherhood, financial insecurity, and the systemic conditions that make healing so difficult.Because burnout isn't always about our inability to cope.

Wait... How HAS Neurodivergence Affected My Life? | Season 5 Premiere
Welcome to Season 5 of The NeuroSpicy MomPod! In this deeply personal premiere, Austen Marie reflects on a seemingly simple question from a cleaning client: "How has neurodivergence affected your life?"The answer turns out to be far more complicated than she imagined.From growing up with undiagnosed neurodivergence and childhood trauma to navigating an abusive marriage, workplace mistreatment, autistic burnout, financial instability, and motherhood, Austen Marie explores how neurodivergence has shaped nearly every aspect of her life.This episode examines the intersection of neurodivergence, C-PTSD, domestic abuse, chronic stress, and poverty, including why leaving an abusive environment doesn't necessarily mean having the resources or safety needed to heal.Austen Marie also explores the difference between intelligence and capacity, the hidden financial costs of neurodivergent accommodations, and the shame that comes from struggling in a society that equates productivity with personal worth.Finally, she shares her vision for Healing Hearts Homesteads, a future community dedicated to providing safety, stability, and opportunities for healing to women and children escaping abuse.In this episode: Neurodivergence and relationships, complex PTSD, coercive control, workplace burnout, nervous system regulation, financial trauma, disability accommodations, and rebuilding a life centered around safety.If you've ever wondered why doing everything "right" still hasn't been enough, this conversation is for you.✨ Join our community on Instagram: @the_neurospicymama💜 Support the podcast and access exclusive content on Patreon.✍️ Follow Austen's writing journey on Substack: @theneurospicymompodThank you for helping us normalize neurodivergence, one conversation at a time.

BE THE DETECTIVE, NOT THE JUDGE; Understanding Your Neurodivergent Brain with with Josh from Re-Right
What if, instead of judging ourselves for the things we struggle with, we got curious about why they’re hard?This week on The NeuroSpicy MomPod, I’m joined by Josh, co-founder of re-RIGHT, for a conversation about what it actually feels like to move through the world with a neurodivergent brain...especially when you spent most of your life without knowing you had one.Josh is late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD, with lived experience of Tourette’s and dyslexia, and we get into the messy reality of looking back at your entire life through a completely different lens after diagnosis. We talk about the grief and relief of late diagnosis, the mental health impact of masking, autistic burnout, executive dysfunction, nervous system regulation, and what happens when you’ve spent so many years becoming the person who gets the least amount of pushback that you’re not entirely sure who you are underneath it anymore.We also dive into PDA (Persistent Drive for Autonomy) and what demand avoidance actually feels like from inside the nervous system, including why something you genuinely want to do can suddenly feel impossible the second your brain registers it as a demand.And one of my favorite takeaways from our entire conversation:✨ Give yourself permission to be the detective instead of the judge.Instead of “Why am I so lazy?”What is making this task difficult for me?Instead of “Why is my child being defiant?”What is their behavior communicating?Instead of immediately assigning judgment, what happens when we get curious?Josh also shares why he created re-RIGHT, a neurodivergent-informed platform designed to bridge the gap between learning about neurodivergence and actually knowing how to use that information in your everyday life.🧠 Connect with Josh + follow re-RIGHT:Instagram: @joshfromrerightWebsite: re-right.orgFollow Josh to learn more about autism, ADHD, PDA, masking, neurodivergent mental health, and the development of re-RIGHT.Whether you’re late-diagnosed, self-identifying, questioning your neurodivergence, parenting a neurodivergent child, or simply trying to understand your brain with a little more compassion, this conversation is your reminder that your struggles are information, not evidence of your worth.Stay curious, my NeuroSpicy baddies. 💕✨

Motherhood on Overload: Neurodivergence & Postpartum Depression (Audio Version)
Postpartum mental health is finally getting the national attention it deserves, but what does postpartum look like when you're already living with a NeuroSpicy nervous system?This week, we're looking at the research connecting ADHD and autism with increased rates of perinatal depression, anxiety and stress, and exploring why sleep deprivation, sensory overload, executive dysfunction, hormonal changes and the sudden loss of familiar routines can make postpartum uniquely challenging for neurodivergent mothers. We’ll also talk about what neurodivergent-informed postpartum support could actually look like and the small ways we can better care for the moms in our communities.If motherhood ever made you wonder, “Why does everyone else seem able to handle this except me?”...this conversation is for you. ✨

The Imaginary String: Neurodivergence, Eugenics & the Rights We’re Fighting For
What happens when we forget that the rights we inherited had to be fought for?This week, we’re following the imaginary string through Aktion T4, American eugenics, Buck v. Bell, forced sterilization, the disability rights movement, Section 504, the ADA, and the rhetoric and policies raising alarm for neurodivergent and disabled Americans in 2026.This is a heavier episode, but an important one because knowing our history gives us the context to recognize patterns, protect our rights, and understand why informed participation matters now more than ever.💖 Support The NeuroSpicy MomPodIf this episode taught you something, made you think, or gave you a conversation you want to keep going, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.
