Sensory Struggles & Masking: How Society Fails ND Kids in Everyday Situations

Sensory Struggles & Masking: How Society Fails ND Kids in Everyday Situations

In this episode, we dive into a topic so many of us know too well—sensory overwhelm and the exhausting reality of masking. From everyday errands that turn into full-on meltdowns, to the quiet ways our kids (and we) try to shrink ourselves to “fit in,” this episode is a raw and validating look at how society often fails to meet neurodivergent needs.

Whether it’s a simple haircut turning into a full-blown crisis, or the quiet pressure to hold it all together in public, we unpack how to support our nervous systems, honor our kids' cues, and stop normalizing the grind of masking just to get by.

💖 And this week on our Small Business Shoutout...

We’re giving a big sparkly hug to someone who shows up for her community in the most delicious way—pies. Yes, PIE. 🥧✨

Moni Hosier isn’t just a Chico-based realtor with a heart of gold, she’s also the magic behind @monis_pies, where she bakes up handmade pies that taste like comfort, joy, and a warm hug for your taste buds.

So whether you’re house hunting or pie craving (or both), give her a follow and show her some love:
