How I Almost Missed This — and Why You Shouldn’t

So… I missed my own podcast episode. Are we surprised? Probably not.

It dropped mid-May while we were knee-deep in NYC transit schedules, sensory bags, and the chaos of building an in-ground trampoline in our very uneven backyard.

Back in January, I sat down with Victoria from The Sensory Savvy Mama podcast (also known as Victoria from The_Edison_Collective ) to talk about something that hits every nerve: What do you do when your gut is screaming that something’s up with your child… but everyone else says, “Just wait and see?”

Short answer? You advocate anyway. Long answer? That’s what this episode is all about.

Here's what we covered:

Red flags no one else saw — and why I couldn’t ignore them anymore
Early intervention eval that got mis-scored yes, really!
Heavy work hacks that saved us
Burnout & boundaries — the work that came after the paperwork
My message to moms still stuck in the "unknown"

It’s messy. It’s emotional. It’s the story I wish I had when I was spiraling in Google tabs and TikTok videos holding everything together with ice packs, band-aids, and sarcasm.

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself because a professional downplayed your concerns—this episode is for you

Please remember, You know your child BEST, when the system whispers “wait,” sometimes the bravest thing you can do is speak louder.

Glad you’re here. Keep stimming,
