Listen Later

"It always goes back to  - NOBODY gets it."  We're BACK!! And we're kicking it off with mom guest, Emily. I'm telling you right now - you will ABSOLUTELY resonate with her story!

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The frustration of being your child's co-regulator 24/7
  • When being a "stay at home mom" means you can't take your kids out due to your child's struggles - so you're always at home.
  • The way motherhood is romanticized on social media
  • The sadness of losing friendships with other adults over time because they have NT kids.
  • How sharing your nervous system with your child's means you have nothing left at the end of the day.
  • How finding her village has helped her reclaim her identity
  • How parenting a demand avoidant kid requires a whole different approach
