Ep 15 // Feeling Resourced Too: Redefining Support for Neurodivergent Families with Iris
Hey Mama, Ever feel like the strategies or schedules you try, just don’t fit your family? Like you’re constantly adapting, adjusting, and absorbing without much support? You’re not failing—you're responding to a system that wasn’t built for your child… or you.
In this deeply affirming episode, we explore the journey of showing up as your full, neurodivergent self in parenting, in practice, and in life. It’s a conversation about honoring your humanity and your child’s—without burning out.
🌱 The shift from fixing kids to supporting families as full ecosystems 🌱 How lived experience deepens our capacity to support (and respect) each other 🌱 Letting go of auto-pilot parenting and embracing seasonal rhythms 🌱 Why community care and co-regulation starts with dropping the expert mask
This episode is tender, unfiltered, and filled with hard-earned wisdom and playful metaphors. I hope you’ll walk away feeling seen, softened, and maybe a little more courageous.
Key Moments: (00:00) From SLP to peer support: what changed and why (07:30) A personal story of compassion fatigue and reparenting (15:10) Redefining "support" beyond systems and service hours (20:55) Parenting on purpose: slowing down, showing up, shifting the legacy
