Disrupting the Overwhelm Cycle (When You’re Parenting Neurodivergent Kids)
from Moms Talk Autism Podcast · host Shannon Korza
Today we’re talking about the overwhelm cycle — how it starts, why it keeps looping, and what it actually looks like when you’re parenting neurodivergent kids, juggling puberty, appointments, social stuff, marriage, work, hormones, and your own identity. We also talk about what disrupting the overwhelm cycle actually means. Not eliminating stress. Not becoming a zen monk. But noticing the pattern and interrupting it before it takes you out. Because overwhelm isn’t just about too much on your plate.It’s about carrying too much alone. If you’re tired, stretched thin, and wondering how to stop living in reaction mode — you’re not crazy. You’re probably just stuck in the cycle. Let’s disrupt it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Overwhelm isn’t weakness — it’s a pattern. In this episode, we unpack the mental load of parenting neurodivergent kids, navigating puberty, managing boundaries, and handling our own mental health, and share how we’re learning to disrupt the cycle instead of living in survival mode.
