The Leonie Circle
A flexible, supportive community for Catholic moms raising neurodivergent children
Raising neurodivergent kids can feel isolating
especially as a Catholic mom.
You love your children. You see their gifts and challenges and want to support them, but some days feel really overwhelming.
Mass is unpredictable
And family prayer? What’s that?
School is always complicated.
Other moms don’t seem to get it when your challenges come up in conversation.
And all the advice that seems to work for other Catholic families? It doesn’t work for yours.
So somewhere in the middle of putting out one fire after another, making three separate meals for the kids, managing meltdowns and sibling squabbles, and staying on top of your responsibilities and the household, you’re still trying to nurture everybody’s faith.
It feels impossible, and it’s exhausting.
But what if you found a community of other moms like you? A faithful, non-judgemental group of women, raising quirky Catholic kids liks yours?
Welcome to the Leonie Circle
Flexible support, guidance, and community for Catholic moms of neurodivergent kids
Named for Servant of God Leonie Martin,
The Leonie Circle offers a unique opportunity for fellowship and growth. It is not a rigid parenting program or an intensive coaching experience.
Rather, it’s steady, consistent support for moms seeking practical strategies, thoughtful discussion, and a place where their family’s challenges are understood.
Because maybe you’re not stuck, but you’re not thriving, either.
And you’re tired of managing motherhood alone.
Each month has a new focus, building an easy-to-access, always-available archive of:

via Zoom on the fourth Wednesday of each month (7 PM Eastern). Gather for fifteen minutes of prayer and petition for our children, our marriages, and our homes.
all in one place. Practical, open-and-go tools exclusively for Circle members, archived and accessible 24/7.
The Leonie Circle is right for you if:
You don’t need a full overhaul, but you do need support
You want a consistent community you can trust
You want the opportunity to learn, but you need it to be flexible
I’m Ginny Kochis, and I’m your Leonie Circle guide
I founded Quirky Catholic Kids in 2017 (then Not So Formulaic) as a haven for moms like you and me: Catholic women raising the unique and unrepeatable; our greatest challenge and our greatest joy.
Drawing on my twenty years of personal and professional experience, I’ve crafted The Leonie Circle into what I needed when my kids were young, because there were so many days I felt isolated and discouraged:
A place to call home, to learn at my own pace, and feel secure in the knowledge that God is with me.
A place to share my challenges and joys without fear of judgment.
A place to help me raise my exceptional children, rooted in extraordinary love.
