“But what about the kid that just needs a little help… ” – This one is a little different to what you’ve come to expect here on the Podcast. Today, we are chatting with my sweet friend Emily Schwalbach about some of her experiences with her “neurotypical kiddos” that have thrown her for a little bit of a loop. You see, friend, what I hope you hear after listening to my chat with Emily is that no matter what side of parenting you find yourself on today, the fears, doubts, questions and advocacy needs are still all there. Listen to her words today and I think you’re going to be surprised to find just how alike we all are in our thinking and struggles despite what side of the parenting couch you sit on. Isn’t that oddly comforting!? I think so too!

Emily is a wife and mom of 3 little boys, founder & CEO of Be Social Consulting© and co-founder of Social Squad Society©. (this woman is a BOSS!) Her businesses are focused on helping women entrepreneurs build sustainable marketing strategies that deliver to the bottom line while still being authentic and true to the things you value most.

Resources mentioned:


The Ultimate Plot Twist podcast provides a space for friends to share their stories of when life handed them the unexpected. We will hear the things they have learned, the challenges they faced, and the wisdom they wish they had known sooner to help them along the way.

Our host, Jen Barger, is a mom to two amazing children, one of which just happens to have Down syndrome.. In her families’ own crazy, beautiful journey to learn more about this diagnosis, she found that real valuable advice and encouragement came more from the incredible families and caretakers she met, versus her failed internet searches. And that is what she is going to share with you each episode: Real People. Real Lives. Real Stories. Real Wisdom. So get ready, this is going to be fun!
