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.)

E60: Birthday
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A birthday party.
A really hard moment.
And questions we can't stop thinking about—but also can't answer.
- How do you balance your child's needs with the needs of those around them?
- What does inclusion look like when behaviors can be challenging and unpredictable?
- How do you keep showing up when there's no guarantee things will go smoothly?
In this episode, we're reflecting on a moment when Milo really struggled at a friend's birthday party: how it felt in the moment, how it felt in the days after, and what we're still wrestling with.
