9 Oct 2026TRANSCRIPT
It Takes A Village. Preferably Nearby.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. But finding that village? Not always so easy.
In this episode, we're talking about the friendships that come with having kids, how those relationships evolve, and what happens when friends start to feel like family.
We share how our own friendship began, how our families' lives have become intertwined, and how raising a child with special needs can bring additional considerations to friendships and social experiences.
From neighborhood connections and Friday night hangouts to parenting styles, accessibility, and finding people who just get it, we reflect on what's worked for our families and what we've learned along the way.
We're certainly not experts on finding your village, but we're sharing what ours looks like, why it's meaningful to us, and how it's made the everyday parts of parenting a little more manageable (and a lot more fun).

Why We Put Things Off: The Emotional Side of Getting Things Done
Why do we avoid certain tasks, even when we know they need to get done? Sometimes it’s not the task itself, but the feelings attached to it.
In this episode, we talk about dread, overwhelm, perfectionism, and the emotional weight that can make even a simple email or phone call feel hard to approach. We also share practical ways to move forward, from naming what you’re feeling and using body doubling to breaking bigger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps.

She and Avanti reflect on what helped them through their hardest parenting moments: the power of community, learning to advocate for yourself, and realizing that you don’t have to be “built for this” to rise to the occasion.

When Your Child Gets a Diagnosis: Never Be Ashamed Of Your Story
What happens when the life you imagined for your family suddenly looks very different? In our first episode, Avanti shares her journey to becoming a special needs parent- from the first signs that something might be different with her son Rohan, through years of uncertainty, and ultimately receiving his diagnosis of KIF1A Associated Neurological Disorder (KAND).
We talk honestly about grief, anxiety, comparison, hiding the hard parts, and what it took to begin accepting a life she hadn't expected. And we talk about something that has become central to Avanti's family: choosing joy- not instead of sadness or difficulty, but alongside it.
It's a conversation about letting go of what you thought life would look like, owning your story, and discovering that acceptance and happiness can exist even when life is really hard.
