The Leonie Circle
Guided monthly formation for Catholic moms raising neurodivergent kids
Raising neurodivergent kids can feel isolating
especially as a Catholic mom.
You love your children deeply. You see both their gifts and their struggles, and you want to support them well.
But some days feel impossibly complicated.
Mass is unpredictable.
Family prayer rarely looks the way you imagined it would.
School requires constant advocacy (or, if you’re homeschooling, bargaining).
And the parenting advice that seems to work for other Catholic families often doesn’t work in yours.
So somewhere between managing meltdowns, navigating sibling conflicts, making separate meals, and trying to keep the household functioning, you’re also trying to nurture your children’s faith—and your own.
I know that road well.
After 20 years of parenting neurodivergent kids in Catholic spaces, I created the Leonie Circle.
A guided community
for Catholic moms walking that same path
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.
Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours researching neurodivergence, supporting families, and learning how faith and practical support can work together in real family life. The Leonie Circle is the kind of space I desperately needed when my own children were younger:
An intentional community. A trusted mentor who shared my beliefs. A place where I could find encouragement, a listening ear, and the support I needed to be the mom God intended for my children.
Welcome to the Leonie Circle
A guided community for Catholic moms raising neurodivergent families

Rather, it offers steady, consistent support through teaching, conversation, prayer, and thoughtful discussion.
Because maybe you’re not stuck, but you’re not thriving, either.
And you’re tired of managing motherhood alone.
Each month inside the Leonie Circle focuses on a different aspect of neurodivergent family life, giving members ongoing support through:
