About Me
Hi I’m Sophie!
Welcome to Calm Within Chaos — a sanctuary for overwhelmed minds, built by someone who’s lived in the eye of the storm.
I’m Sophie, a single mom of autistic twins who knows firsthand what it means to carry the weight of constant caregiving, emotional overload, and silent exhaustion. I’ve walked through autistic burnout — both theirs and mine — and I know how isolating it can feel when there’s no manual for calming the chaos.
This space was born out of survival and transformed into purpose.
Calm Within Chaos isn’t just another mental wellness site — it’s a neurodiversity-inclusive resource hub, created with both moms and autistic teens in mind. Every tool, affirmation, and strategy you’ll find here is designed to work in every neurological language — whether your brain is anxious, overstimulated, scattered, or simply tired.
What You’ll Find Here:
- Sensory-safe coping tools for autistic teens
- Emotional regulation strategies that actually work (because I test everything on my own kids first!)
- Scripts and affirmations to soothe meltdown moments — for both parent and child
- Burnout recovery support for moms who never get to clock out
If you’ve ever whispered, “I love them more than life… but I am so tired,” — you’ve found your people.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about finding peace inside the chaos — one small calm moment at a time.
Welcome home.
