What if it’s not your child that’s dysregulated—but the system you’re trying to function inside?

In this episode, Victoria is joined by neurodivergent mother, and community voice, Isabeau, for a no-holding-back conversation about the invisible work of raising high-needs, neurodivergent kids while slowly unmasking your own identity.

Together they explore what it looks like to parent outside of urgency, honor emotional truth without fear, and find micro-moments of peace in the middle of what often feels like chaos.

Whether you’re deep in co-regulation, learning to step out of survival mode, or holding the tension of being both soft and strong at once—this episode will feel like a deep breath and a nervous system hug.

🔍 In This Episode, We Talk About:
  • The moment you realize you might be the chaos

  • What masking really looks like in neurodivergent motherhood

  • How to protect your peace without abandoning your child

  • Why urgency is not regulation

  • Creating connection before compliance (especially in school mornings)

  • Teaching resilience through softness—not stress

  • What it looks like when your child starts self-advocating better than you were ever allowed to

  • Why growth doesn’t have to mean constant change

    • 💬 Favorite Quotes:

    “I just want to pause time and melt down in peace... and then pick it all back up like nothing happened.”

    “My daughter is regulated because I’ve built a life around her nervous system. But the cost of that? Is mine.”

    “You are allowed to be mad. You're just not allowed to be mean. And you know what? She gets it.”
