Helen's Story - From Nurse to SEN Warrior
Meet Helen Wheeler – the SEN mum turning chaos into community. From raising three children with additional needs to building a following of over 25,000 parents online, Helen shares her raw, honest journey of advocacy, resilience, and support.
Episode Summary
This week on the Boss Mums Circle, Carly sits down with Helen Wheeler, a single mum of three who’s redefining what it means to parent with strength, honesty, and humour in the face of SEN challenges.
After stepping away from her nursing career to support her struggling son, Helen began documenting her journey on TikTok — and her openness struck a chord. With over 15,000 followers on TikTok and nearly 10,000 on Instagram, Helen has built a thriving community where parents can find comfort, guidance, and solidarity.
In this episode, Helen opens up about:
- Parenting three children with different SEN needs (including ADHD and ODD)
- How sharing her raw, unfiltered story online became a lifeline for other parents
- The creation of her SEN guide and free email templates to help families navigate the system
- Why fitness, Zumba training, and humour keep her grounded through the chaos
Helen calls it “winging it” — but what she’s really doing is inspiring thousands and building a movement of support for SEN parents everywhere.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- The power of vulnerability in creating community online
- Practical tools and resources for navigating SEN challenges
- Why self-care matters (and how Helen finds hers through the gym and Zumba)
- How one mum turned her personal struggles into support for thousands
