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.

Melisa Moore, PhD, is the author of The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids. A clinical psychologist board certified in behavioral sleep medicine, she works at the sleep center at Rady Children's Health San Diego. She also has a practice in the Los Angeles area working with children, teens, and young adults across the country for a variety of sleep and mood issues, specializing in neurodiversity.

I've talked so much in previous episodes of the podcast about how difficult and unnatural I've found sleep since I was a child and I know for parents of neurodivergent children, sleep issues can cause huge amounts of stress and upset. Melisa was the perfect person to get on the podcast to talk to about how we can help neurodivergent children with sleep problems and potentially also help ourselves too! Enjoy!

In possibly my most unmasked and unfiltered episode yet, I've got my bestie, Erin, on to talk about our stims, tics, the ways we self regulate and then a ton of our usual tangents. This episode is a completely natural, unmasked conversation between two really good mates and contains dodgy accents, a load of vocal stims, silly voices and mayhem but hopefully it will be relatable and can help eradicate some of the stigma attached to openly stimming. Enjoy!
