Sleeping Apart, Growing Together: Jana & Matt's Accommodation Story

February 18
30 mins

Episode Description

In Part 2 of Jodi’s conversation with Jana and Matt, they zoom in on what helps neurodiverse couples move from “you’re doing it wrong” to clear, workable requests. They unpack why old scripts keep running even after growth, and how slowing down helps you rewrite the narrative together.

 

Jana shares two practical accommodations that changed everything: adjusting seasoning so everyone can eat comfortably, and normalizing separate sleep spaces to protect deep rest. Matt explains why requests land differently than criticism—and how problem-solving as a team strengthens connection, trust, and day-to-day ease.
