The Organised Life Podcast with Rhi - Mummy Of Four
Helping neurodiverse families find calm, clarity, and a bit of magic in the mess.
Welcome to The Organised Life Podcast with Rhi, (previously known as the Real Talk With Rhi Podcast) the podcast for overwhelmed mums navigating the beautiful chaos of family life — especially in neurodiverse households.
I'm Rhi, a mum of four, business owner, and fellow neuro-spicy human. Whether you're managing ADHD, supporting a child through an autism assessment, or just trying to remember where you put your keys — you're in the right place.
Here, we talk real life: organisation that actually works, the messy middle of parenting neurodiverse kids, and how to reclaim calm when the world feels too loud. From planner hacks to deeper chats about diagnosis, mental load, and self-care — it's all welcome here.
So grab your headphones, and let’s make life work — together.
