Soft Life in a Loud House (Neurodivergent Mom Edition)If “soft life” content has ever made you feel behind because your house is loud, your routines aren’t aesthetic, and your nervous system doesn’t stay calm on command—this episode is for you. In this pillar episode of Grounded &amp; In Full Color, I’m redefining soft life for neurodivergent moms as something real and usable: nervous system respect, not perfection.We talk about why Instagram soft life can backfire for autistic/ADHD/sensitive moms (hello, sensory overload and shame spirals), and what “gentle” actually looks like when you’re dysregulated too. You’ll get my simple 3-part framework—environment softness (sound, light, clutter), systems softness (fewer decisions, rhythm over rigid routines), and relational softness (repair, boundaries, co-regulation)—plus a “Soft Tuesday” menu of tiny choices that help in real life: decision-diet dinners, paper-plate permission, quiet-mode cues, doom-baskets, and short reset rituals.And yes—we’re talking tiny luxuries that actually help. One of mine is Earth Harbor AURORA because the scent is unlike anything I’ve smelled before (fresh greens + intriguing), the color is gorgeous, and the name feels like an energetic hug. Quick transparency: some links mentioned may be affiliate links (at no extra cost to you).In this episode, I’m redefining soft life and soft life for moms through the lens of neurodivergent motherhood, because the reality for an autistic mom (and an ADHD mom (if applicable)) often includes sensory overload, sensory sensitivity, and overstimulation—even on “good” days. We’ll talk about what gentle parenting looks like when you’re also human, including gentle parenting when dysregulated, and how nervous system regulation can be practical instead of performative. This is for the moms facing mom burnout, running on low spoons, and trying to build realistic routines while living with executive dysfunction—without turning self-care into another job. I’m also covering repair after yelling, how to set boundaries without guilt, and why co-regulation can be the missing bridge between “I want to be gentle” and “my body is in fight-or-flight.” Most of all, we’re anchoring the idea of soft life not aesthetic—a soft life that fits real homes, real kids, and real nervous systems.Next steps: Follow the show so you never miss an episode, then check the show notes to connect with me on Instagram/Threads/Facebook/TikTok/YouTube/X.
