概要

 The Beauty in the Mess Podcast is about rewriting your story. You feel like others (or yourself) have boxed you into a specific role, but you know that is not who you truly are. Then it’s time to give yourself permission to start showing up as you are, rewrite your story, and allow yourself to grow. Your mission may be to establish connections to like-minded people, align with your soul’s true desire, reconnect to your faith, overcome fear, find your voice, or restore your health. Regardless, it is time to reclaim who you are and who you were meant to be. Join me, Michele Simms, and let’s take this journey together.

    Ep. 140 Watching Sarah Rise: A Mother's Journey Through Autism And Hope with Jenny Briggs
    2026/03/04
    Parenthood rarely looks the way we imagine it will. For Jennifer Celeste Briggs, that realization came when her daughter Sarah began missing developmental milestones and was later diagnosed with autism. What followed was a journey filled with uncertainty, grief, resilience, and ultimately deep transformation. In this honest and hopeful conversation, Jennifer shares how she discovered the Son-Rise approach (now called Do Autism Differently) and built a unique home-based program centered on connection, play, and following her daughter's lead. Through years of dedication, volunteering, creativity, and plenty of messy moments along the way, Jennifer found not only ways to support Sarah’s growth but also powerful lessons about letting go of expectations, trusting intuition, and learning to love without conditions. Jennifer is the author of Watching Sarah Rise, a deeply personal memoir that chronicles her family's experience raising a child with autism while discovering unexpected strength and joy along the way. This episode is for any parent who has faced uncertainty, felt overwhelmed, or wondered if they are doing enough. Jennifer’s story is a reminder that progress often happens slowly, love shows up in imperfect ways, and hope can grow even in the hardest seasons. 2:30 – Meet Jennifer Celeste Briggs and her journey into autism advocacy 3:40 – Early signs something was different with Sarah 5:00 – Discovering the Son-Rise program and choosing a new path 6:30 – What the program actually looks like in daily life 8:00 – The role volunteers played in Sarah’s development 9:30 – Sarah today: school, piano, swimming, and growing independence 11:20 – Processing the emotional shock of an autism diagnosis 13:30 – Letting go of expectations and learning to accept reality 16:00 – Parenting through frustration, guilt, and emotional burnout 18:30 – Support systems and the importance of community 20:10 – Navigating worries about the future 22:30 – Sleep struggles and sensory tools that sometimes help 24:50 – The parenting beliefs Jennifer had to unlearn 26:45 – What this journey ultimately taught her about resilience 29:10 – Why caring for yourself matters as a parent 31:00 – Writing the memoir Watching Sarah Rise 34:20 – Feedback from readers and the autism community 37:30 – Advice for parents feeling isolated or overwhelmed 48:30 – Where to find Jennifer and her book✨Connect with Jenny Briggs:Website: https://watchingsarahrise.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennifercelestebriggsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jennifercelestebriggsauthorBook: Watching Sarah Rise✨ Connect with Michele Simms:Website: thebeautyinthemess.comInstagram: @the.beauty.in.the.messLinkedIn: Michele SimmsFacebook Group: The Beauty in the Mess Podcast💬 Rate & Review· Loved this episode?

    Ep. 139 Homeschooling As A Path To Healing with Julieta Duvall
    2026/02/25

    What happens when homeschooling doesn’t just change your child’s education… but exposes your own wounds?

    In this powerful conversation, Julieta Duvall shares how what began as a chaotic homeschooling decision during the pandemic turned into a deep personal reckoning. She opens up about anger, control, guilt, perfectionism, and the painful realization that she wasn’t showing up as the safe space she wanted to be for her children.

    This episode goes far beyond curriculum and learning styles. It’s about deconditioning the beliefs we inherited about education, success, and parenting. It’s about healing ourselves so we don’t pass down what hurt us.

    If you’ve ever felt triggered in motherhood… this one is for you.

  • Ep. 138 The Emotional Work Behind Real Growth and Lasting Change with Sofia Pedroso

    Ep. 138 The Emotional Work Behind Real Growth and Lasting Change with Sofia Pedroso
    2026/02/18

    Progress doesn’t always look like momentum. Sometimes it looks like losing everything you thought defined you. Starting over. Rebuilding quietly while questioning your own direction, identity, and worth.

    In this episode of The Beauty In The Mess, I sit down with Sofia Pedroso, founder of Shiffully. Sofia works with entrepreneurs to address the emotional and nervous-system patterns that often sit beneath inconsistent growth, burnout, and self-doubt. But her work didn’t begin with theory. It began with her own lived experience of losing everything and having to rebuild from the inside out.

    We talk about what it means to hit rock bottom, how emotional patterns quietly shape our outcomes, and why traditional strategies often fail when deeper nervous-system patterns are driving our behavior. Sofia shares how she rebuilt her identity, developed self-trust, and began helping others do the same.

    This conversation is a powerful reminder that feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re broken. It often means there’s something deeper asking to be understood.

    04:32 — Sofia’s rock bottom and losing everything

    08:15 — Moving back in with her parents and rebuilding identity

    12:40 — Why progress felt slow and invisible

    17:05 — Emotional patterns and nervous-system responses

    21:30 — Why strategy alone doesn’t create real change

    26:10 — Recognizing the patterns that keep us stuck

    30:55 — Learning to rebuild self-trust

    35:20 — How her experience led to creating Shiffully

    40:05 — Helping others break cycles and grow sustainably
