Hi Friends & fellow Feral Raccoons! Welcome to Soft Chaos — a podcast for emotionally aware, slightly overwhelmed parents.

In this first episode, I’m sharing why I started the podcast, what “soft chaos” means to me, and why I think so many of us are craving more honest conversations about motherhood, identity, homeschooling, friendship, and modern family life.

I’m a therapist, a mom, and someone who deeply values connection, intentional living, and emotional awareness… while also regularly losing my coffee, overstimulated by noise, and trying to regulate my nervous system through the chaos of everyday life.

This isn’t a podcast about having it all figured out. It’s about paying attention to the beauty, messiness, tenderness, and complexity of real life while we figure it out as we go.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why the heck I started this side quest, and what I'm hoping this space can become
• What Soft Chaos means to me
• Introduce myself and my lovely (chaotic) world
• The pressure of modern motherhood
• Emotionally aware parenting without perfectionism
• Why awareness doesn’t magically eliminate overwhelm

I’m so glad you’re here : )
