Beyond the Label Podcast
We’re Ty & Lisa Kellogg—parents to three great kids: Nora, Milo, and June. Our daughters are neurotypical, and our son is autistic. Since Milo’s diagnosis in January 2023, we’ve been learning how to navigate parenting, family dynamics, and life in ways we never expected.
Spoiler alert: We don’t have all the answers (to parenting or podcasting), but we’re figuring it out as we go. This show is our way of processing the highs and lows, sharing what’s real—grief, hope, fear, laughter—and connecting with others on similar journeys.
If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, love someone who is, or just want an honest look at one family's parenting experiences, you’re in the right place. (We’re nice, we promise.)

E36: Taking His Side
“It’s not fair!”
When siblings are involved, fairness is always up for debate — but in our house, it takes on a whole new meaning. Milo, our son who’s on the autism spectrum, often needs extra support to stay calm and regulated. That means his sisters, Nora and especially June, sometimes have to bend, compromise, or give him space — even when it doesn’t feel fair.
In this episode, we share a recent Saturday morning that started with pancakes and playtime... and quickly turned into a full-blown showdown over a kitchen seat and a bin of Legos. What unfolds is a moment every parent of multiple kids can relate to, but with the added layers of parenting a child with autism, where keeping the peace sometimes means taking sides.
We talk about what it means to “take his side,” how that impacts June, and the constant balance between fairness, safety, and love in our family.
