In this episode of The Sweet Diary of a Stay-at-Home Mom, I am diving deep into the ableism that exists within the neurodivergent community. I am speaking directly to those who have been dismissed, shamed, or told that their autism or ADHD does not look the way it is “supposed to.” I share personal experiences as a mother, daughter, and neurodivergent woman living with ADHD, autism, pathological demand avoidance, trauma, and PMDD. You will hear about the ways masking, survival mode, and childhood environment shape how neurodivergence shows up. I am also calling out the judgment and comparison that often comes from within our own community. This episode is for the ones who have been told they are too much, too sensitive, too emotional, too messy. The ones who have been fighting to be seen without needing to explain or prove themselves. If you are tired of shrinking yourself to seem more acceptable, this one is for you. Send me a DM with the word spectrum if this spoke to you @delectablecakesllc or @thesahmbakermentor
You are not broken. You are not alone. You are worthy of compassion exactly as you are. -
What if the moment that triggered you the most had very little to do with the person who hurt you and everything to do with your past?
In this powerful episode, I take you inside one of the most painful moments of my early cake journey. A sixty dollar cake order from someone I loved became a mirror for childhood wounds I could not name at the time. Conditional love. Betrayal. The belief that I was only worthy when I was useful.
This is not just a story about a cake.
It is a story about how our deepest triggers are often rooted in childhood survival. How people in our present can poke at pain from our past.
And how healing helps us name, feel, process, and finally release what we never deserved to carry. If you are a neurodivergent woman, a baker, a mama, or someone who has ever been made to feel small when you knew you were meant for more, this episode is for you.
You will walk away with clarity, compassion, and a reminder:
You are not too sensitive.
You are not too much.
And you do not have to shrink to be successful.

This Mother’s Day feels different. Not because everything is perfect, but because I have found peace in places that once held only pain. This episode is a love letter to the mother I now see more clearly. Not just as the source of my wounds, but as a woman who survived more than I will ever understand. It is about grace. It is about healing. And it is about honoring both the mother I have become and the one who gave me life.
Whether you are a mother, a daughter, a cycle breaker, or someone navigating the layers of complicated love, this episode is for you.
It is not only grief. It is not only celebration. It is something more powerful: truth with tenderness.
Please share this episode with someone who needs a softer way to honor this day. -
One year ago, I hit record on my phone with no microphone, no plan, and no clue who would listen. I was overwhelmed, under-supported, and holding on by a thread, but I knew one thing: I had to stop abandoning myself.
This episode is raw, honest, and deeply personal. I am taking you behind the scenes of how this podcast started, the typos I made (yes, dairy instead of diary), the tech struggles, the doubt, and the breakthroughs that came from choosing obedience over perfection. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom, a neurodivergent woman navigating healing, or someone who has been putting off their dream, this episode is for you. Because the mic may have been my phone, but the freedom came from finally using my voice.
If this episode moves you, please leave a review and share it with someone who needs the reminder that their voice matters too. -
This episode is for the women who have been carrying a weight that was never meant to be theirs. For the daughters who were never allowed to be children.
For the mothers doing the work to break generational cycles even while still healing from their own pain.
In this raw and emotional episode, I open up about the deepest wound I have ever carried: my mother wound. And the biggest breakthrough of my healing journey.
From surviving a childhood filled with emotional neglect to navigating motherhood, business, and healing as a neurodivergent woman, this is my story of breaking the cycle and reclaiming my power. I walk you through the messy middle, the unexpected breakthrough, and the generational shift that began with a single phone call.
And if you have ever asked yourself:
• Will I ever be free of this pain?
• Do I need an apology to heal?
• Can I raise my children differently than I was raised?
Then this episode is for you.
Whether your healing includes reconciliation or not, you deserve peace.
You deserve softness.
You deserve to be free.

Have you ever prayed for clients, finally booked the orders, and then found yourself frozen, avoiding, crashing, or spiraling into self-blame?
This episode is the truth most bakers, stay-at-home moms, and neurodivergent women have never been told:
You are not lazy.
You are not broken.
You are operating in survival mode fighting invisible battles every single day.
In honor of Autism Awareness Month, we are diving deep into Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), what it is, how it shows up, how it overlaps (but is NOT the same) as trauma and ADHD, and what you can finally do to stop blaming yourself.
If you have ever:
Avoided tasks you actually love
Frozen before deliveries
Crashed after completing an order
Struggled with your child not listening, no matter how hard you tried
…this episode is for you.
Today, we are not shaming ourselves.
We are naming what was always there.
Listen now and finally hear the words your nervous system has been waiting to hear:
You are not broken.
You are brave.
Let’s get free together, mama. Tune in to listen. -
When I first heard the words, “Your daughter has autism,” everything I thought I knew came crashing down. I went into denial, questioning everything ,from my parenting choices to the way I protected her from the world. I blamed myself. I thought I held her back. And the guilt was unbearable.
In this episode, I am opening up about the moment that changed everything and how I slowly moved from denial to acceptance. I talk about cultural beliefs that made it harder to accept the truth, unsolicited advice that only added to the confusion, and the loneliness of not having a supportive partner through it all.
But I also share what helped , learning to trust my instincts, becoming my daughter’s strongest advocate, and understanding myself more deeply after my own AuDHD diagnosis. This isn’t just about one diagnosis it’s about learning to parent both of my kids through love, grace, and conscious parenting.
If you are navigating something similar, I want you to know: you are not alone. This episode is for the mamas who are still figuring it out, still healing, and still showing up anyway. -
What if the very things they called “too much” were never flaws… but signs of brilliance they simply did not understand?
In this powerful, raw, and unfiltered episode, I walk you through my childhood, my undiagnosed neurodivergence, the trauma I carried, and the healing I fought so hard for. From masking my truth to surviving generational pain, from being mislabeled to finally being diagnosed with ADHD, autism, and giftedness, I am telling the story I once only whispered to God in the dark.
This episode is not only about autism awareness.
It is about breaking cycles.
It is about reclaiming power.
It is about the little girl I was, and the woman I have become.
I speak on the trip that changed everything. The moment I stopped trying to earn love. The fire I have reignited in myself. The softness I am learning to give. And the truth I am finally ready to speak out loud.
If you have ever felt like you were too much or not enough, this one is for you.
We are not only raising awareness this month.
We are raising ourselves. -

Why being seen can feel like a threat, especially for those of us who grew up in environments where it was not safe to take up space. We talk about the fear of judgment, dealing with negativity when you start getting more exposure, and most importantly, how to keep going without letting fear hold you back. Your job is not to prove them wrong. It is to prove yourself right. Let us get into it.
