Welcome to The Chaos Cafe
The Chaos Café is where curiosity, compassion, and chaos meet clarity. I created this space to connect, share, and explore ways we can live and think more intentionally—no matter how messy life feels.
This is a space where neurotypical and neurodivergent perspectives can come together to reimagine what support, education, and growth can look like.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all.
I believe in asking better questions, exploring real solutions, and making room for the messy, beautiful journey of becoming.
What’s This Site About?
The Chaos Cafe is a resource hub, storytelling space, and community platform designed to make the invisible visible. We focus on:
Demystifying mental health and neurodivergence
Empowering parents, educators, and caregivers with tools and perspective
Breaking down complex systems and ideas into accessible, actionable insights
Holding space for genuine conversations—even the hard ones
Whether you’re here to learn, share, unlearn, or simply feel less alone—you belong here.
Who the Heck are You?
Hi, I’m Jax Springer—founder of The Chaos Cafe.
I’m a mother, stepmother, caregiver, creator, systems thinker, and mental health advocate. I live with ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and I care for a parent with dementia. My days are shaped by toddler giggles, hard conversations with teens, deep dives into research rabbit holes, and the unglamorous but sacred work of showing up for my people.
I’ve spent the past two decades helping others find clarity in chaos—in business, in caregiving, in identity, and in community. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I try to ask hard questions, listen with intent, and I believe deeply in the power of shared learning.
Okay, so you’re interesting. But what do you stand for?

authenticity
name things honestly, even when it’s hard

ask, explore, and re-examine instead of assuming
compassion
truth can ALWAYS be communicated with kindness
INTERPersonal Values
acceptance
people deserve to be seen for who they are
empowerment
don’t try to fix people; help them rise
accountability
integrity means owning impact, not just intent
What’s your stance on neuroidvergence?
We recognize that neurodivergent and neurotypical minds are fundamentally different—not better or worse, just distinct. At The Chaos Cafe, we embrace those differences as strengths.
We design content, tools, and experiences to be as inclusive and accessible as possible, knowing that real access isn’t about perfection—it’s about intention, iteration, and care. We work to ensure our language, formats, and frameworks meet people where they are, without shame or exclusion.
Becoming? You keep saying that, what’s it mean?
I believe that knowledge isn’t static, and neither are humans. Becoming is a process of gathering, shedding, adapting, and evolving. What we share today is grounded in what we know right now—and that will shift as we listen, learn, and grow.
I don’t claim to be an expert. I claim to be a human who cares, questions, observes, and shows up. I learn from my life, from other people’s lives, and from the conversations that challenge me.
If you see something here that resonates, challenges you, or invites more dialogue—reach out. This is not a lecture hall. It’s a cafe. A place to gather, reflect, and connect. Because no one Becomes alone.
