The podcast intends to help inspire, comfort, and advocate for special needs mothers. Not only does the podcast help foster a community for special needs children and families, it provides practical solutions parents can use to help stay organized and structured to be successful in their household. 

Creating the Especially Organized podcast was just the beginning. Angela intends to expand her advocacy through books, digital courses, and community programs that will further support special needs moms in obtaining a fulfilling life.

Ensuring there is a positive community for people with special needs children to thrive in is important. However, their caretakers should not be overlooked. Therefore, creating an environment that meets their needs is just as crucial.
