Charlie is the founder of Neurospicy & Co., a clothing brand centred around neurodiversity and disability awareness, and honest conversations about real life. As an autistic and ADHD mum of three (two of whom are also autistic, and one likely to be diagnosed with ADHD also), she share's the messy, unfiltered reality of parenting, burnout, and navigating a world not built for us.

Through her content and her brand, she aims to make people feel seen, understood, and a little less alone, while also challenging the way society views neurodivergence.

I had a great time chatting with Charlie. We talked all about our own experiences of discovering our neurodivergence and also Charlie's experience of being a mum to neurodivergent children, interactions with other parents of both neurodivergent and also neurotypical children and what it's been like starting her own brand of neuroaffirming clothing.

It's a solo episode this week and I've just got back from a trip to France. I'm starting to find new ways of doing things like going on holiday with more awareness of my needs and limitations as a neurodivergent person... so here are my travel traumas and holiday highs! Enjoy!
