About this episode
There are plenty of things to get stressed about when you are parenting a neurodivergent young person.
The extra support demands, the crisis that pop up, the unmet expectations and societal judgements, and our own lack of self care to name a few.
When we’re stressed it’s hard to show up as the parent we want to be. I want you to know you don’t have to continue parenting like that. Listen in to learn how to ease your suffering.

- Why when we’ve been stressed we get stuck continuing to be stressed.
