Two Distracted Girls Podcast was born from the bond between Kayla and me, two peas in a podcast who connected over our shared experiences with PTSD, late-in-life neurodivergent diagnoses, and navigating the world as single moms to our sons. What we slowly realized was that the very things that challenged us most had also shaped how we think, create, and connect. Those experiences became our creative superpowers.

It started as a podcast rooted in real life, where vulnerability, humor, healing, and terrible puns coexisted. But it became something bigger. We wanted to ask better questions, have honest conversations, and make the uncomfortable a little more comfortable. We weren’t trying to have all the answers. We were simply creating space for people to feel seen, share their stories, and find connection in the messy, beautiful parts of being human.

Although the podcast isn’t active right now, its impact never really stopped. It continues to shape the questions I ask, the stories I’m drawn to, and the way I connect with people through my work.
