Recorded at 5am, surrounded by boxes and chaos, this episode is raw, unpolished, and real — because that’s where I’m at. We’re mid-move, and I’m holding it all: two kids, the mental load, the guilt, the transitions… and the exhaustion no one warns you about.
In this episode, I reflect in real time on the emotional toll of moving house as a mother — especially with a neurodivergent child who needs routine to feel safe. I talk openly about the guilt that comes with splitting your focus, the way moving strains even the strongest relationships, and why the “organised one” in the family always seems to fall apart quietly.
You’ll also hear some eye-opening research on:
• Why moving is ranked more stressful than divorce
• The hidden emotional toll of relocation on female caregivers
• How transitions like this impact autistic children differently
• And why “he’ll be fine” isn’t always a fair assumption for our youngest
If you’re mid-move, mid-breakdown, or just holding more than anyone sees — this one’s for you.
You’re not failing. You’re just moving. And that counts for everything.
