I set out to make an episode especially for parents of children with additional needs. My intention was to share my own journey with it. Firstly, because it’s just not something that gets spoken about it a lot. And secondly, because I think it’s rare that we get to look at these things also from a spiritual perspective.

What ended up happening was that I think I ended up speaking mostly to myself. Which ended up being incredibly healing and I cried a lot (good tears) while listening back to it.

Being a parent of an additional needs child is an incredibly humbling journey. The ups will take you to the highs of the highest peeks of elation, and the downs will take you to the bottom of the deepest caverns of your soul. It’s the most worthwhile thing I’ve ever been a part of, and it woke me in a way that nothing else ever could.

This is not exclusively for these parents. I think everyone could get something from it, because everyone has either a family member, or a friend, or a son or daughter with autism, or some other life changing difference.

Neurodivergent people themselves will hopefully get something from it as well.

I am so grateful that I found this new avenue to share my feelings, thoughts and opinions with the world. I do not take it for granted as I spend a lot of time on my own, and to be able to communicate with people is something that genuinely makes me happy.

Peace and love
