This podcast is going to help you learn how to work towards your dream for homesteading, gardening, and holistic living in small, simple steps that WON’T overwhelm you.\n\n\n\nHi, I’m Ashley. I’m a wife, Jesus follower, and Mom to some amazing kids. As I began having children, we quickly realized that several of our kids had some special needs. This sent me on a journey of nonstop research and countless hours of trying to figure out ways that I could make changes to our lifestyle to help my children thrive, despite the challenges.\n\n\n\nI was so stressed out, feeling like I needed to change everything at one time. I was keeping up with therapies, dietary changes, communication challenges, while also trying to implement this holistic lifestyle, and I was BURNT OUT.\n\n\n\nI finally realized that this all-or-nothing mentality was keeping me paralyzed from actually making real, lasting, progress on my goal for helping my kids. I had to decide to start making one small change at a time, then build from there. It was a process of learning to let go and rest in Jesus, to learn that even if I couldn’t get rid of all of the toxins in our home, or only give my family organic food, Jesus had me on this journey to better health for my family and I had to do it in a way that was sustainable as a busy Mom caring for my neurodiverse kids.\n\n\n\nAnd you know what? Because I was willing to slow down and take small intentional steps towards changing our food, growing a garden, switching to natural products, and learning how to prepare holistic remedies for my family, it meant that over the years this has just become a way of life for my family. Without stress, or overwhelm, or constantly feeling like I wasn’t doing enough. I’ve learned to walk this holistic journey in a way that works for me AND my family.\n\n\n\nIf you’re ready to hear from another Mama who understands the extra challenges we face every day while parenting our kids with special needs, who can come alongside you on this journey, showing you how to take simple steps towards better health for your family, then this is the podcast for you!\n\n\n\nPop in your earbuds, reheat your coffee for the third time and let’s do this!\n \n\nConnect with me: \nEmail: \nhello@ashleybraden.com \nFree Facebook Community:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/specialkindofmotherhood","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/14328133/9D2AA51A-3265-4796-9B8C-C4ACB1D4ECC4_yzzn53.jpeg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/14328133/9D2AA51A-3265-4796-9B8C-C4ACB1D4ECC4_yzzn53_1200x628.jpg?s=2225ab638d4a62755ed1a8ec3b0f0953&e=jpeg","podcastUrl":"https://specialkindofmotherhood.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/specialkindofmotherhood/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-4658q-daa145","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":11,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-06:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-6,"text":"(GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Chicago"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":107,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Ashley Braden -Holistic Living Coach, Homesteading Coach, Routines Superstar","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-4658q-daa145-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/special-kind-of-motherhood-special-needs-moms-neurodiverse-natural-solutions-time-management/id1660419191","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fspecialkindofmotherhood.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog14328133%26podcastIdTag%3D4658q&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fspecialkindofmotherhood.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/4RZYD1DsNe30knPaoFskoY","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/77accb0e-105f-411b-a39d-73b440839a35","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/106125148","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3427329","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/special-kind-of-motherhood-special-needs--O_3vFmaDIs/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Samsung","link":null,"image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Samsung.png","title":"Search the podcast title on Samsung Podcast app."},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/special-kind-of-motherhood-spe-5052278","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/48662","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
