Hey Momma,

• Have you ever felt thrown off when your child’s sensory needs suddenly change?
• Do you find yourself stuck in “behavior mode” when what your child really needs is support?
• Are you trying to parent intuitively but feel like the rulebook keeps changing?

In Part 2 of our conversation with autism advocate and outdoor-loving mama Jess Caraway, we dig deeper into what happens when your child’s sensory world evolves—and how to stay grounded when nothing goes as expected.

Jess opens up about how her daughter Eliza’s sensory profile shifted dramatically, and what it taught her about staying responsive rather than reactive. We talk about school struggles, the importance of modeling language, and how parenting through a neuro-affirming lens helped transform even the most intense challenges into connection opportunities.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that sensory needs aren’t static—and neither is parenting. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to stay curious.

💡 Micro-Shift Moment: What if your child’s “behavior” isn’t bad... Is it brilliant communication in disguise?
