CHOOSE YOUR OWN AFTER PODCAST
Cousin Michelle is back and we had a lot to chat about; good friends who step in when needed; how my son’s obsessions can lead to dangerous situations; confrontations and inclusion in the community; what paid care providers need to know; and a reminder to be kind.

I’m Stacey—writer, family caregiver/autism consultant, solo parent of three, and founder of Willowjak Services (aka your favourite chaos coordinator). This work? It’s my lifeline, born from lived experience and middle-of-the-night “there has to be a better way” moments. I cut through red tape, decode jargon, and help fellow caregivers find their footing in the mess.I show up real, raw, and a little unfiltered—sharing my own hurdles and heartaches so you know you’re not the only one yelling “WTF?” into your coffee at 2 a.m.
