Do you ever feel like no one truly understands what it’s like to parent a hypersensitive, high-needs child? That you’re unseen, unheard, or even judged for the ways you’re doing everything you can?

In this episode, I share my own story of feeling dismissed by doctors, therapists, and even friends — and how those moments triggered old childhood wounds of not being seen for who I really was. We’ll explore:

• The deep human need to feel seen, heard, and validated
  

• How childhood invalidation shapes the way we parent today
  

• Why our children’s struggles are also our greatest teachers
  

• How self-compassion regulates the nervous system and helps us heal
  

• A simple practice you can use the next time you feel unseen or alone
  

This is how we transform pain into purpose — and how we create a new experience of belonging for both ourselves and our children.
