About LemonCake |
We’re Amber and Chelsea—two moms raising medically complex kids and choosing joy in the chaos. Instead of asking “Why us?” we say, “Why not us?” and lean into the beauty, mess, and humor of it all.
Amber, a former teacher turned adaptive play gym owner, and Chelsea, a fashion-industry-vet turned homeschooling entrepreneur, met through Better Together Playnasium and instantly clicked.
With four amazing kids between us—Kai, Kameron, Kinnen, and Wesley—we know the ups, downs, and surprises of parenting both neurodivergent and neurotypical children.
That’s why we created Lemon Cake—a podcast and community for parents like us, where laughter, honesty, and encouragement meet. There are plenty of resources out there—but where’s the humor? The joy? We’re here to bring it.
So like, share, and pull up a chair—because we’re turning lemons into lemon cake!
