Whether you’re 3 months postpartum and your world is upside down, or you don’t know how you’ll do more intensity with more children, ‘life’ just feels hard and chaotic alongside self-growth, relationship, work and kids…this episode is for you!

Fighting or collapsing in a period of intensity just burns your energy - so how do you move towards acceptance so you can find moments of peace and pockets of spaciousness?

In this episode we explore:

• This is not bigger than you…tapping into your strength
• Drawing on where you’ve done this before so you can trust you can do it again
• Our feelings need a stage, but if we stay there, we just get stuck
• Comparing your shitshow to someone else’s mastery
• Stopping the ‘comparisonitis’ that takes you down for days
• Moving one step at a time is enough
• Offering yourself ‘reset’ moments
• Tapping into the wisdom of birth to inform how you move forwards in life

What do our kids need to feel connected to themselves, and easeful in different environment…and what do we need? We have to reconcile that we are inaccurate interpreters of our child, and the situation we find tricky, due to our own wounds. So how do we cultivate flexibility in our parenting, build connection with caregivers and foster secure attachment? Let’s explore together.

In this episode we discuss:

• Don’t label your kids…look for where they’re the opposite
• Get curious about your children’s behaviours and what they’re revealing about their inner experience
• Separation anxiety as normal and healthy from an attachment point of view
• Facilitating and replication moments that ‘do’ work, to create more ease
• Knowing what you need to feel less anxious and more supported
• How you can help your child bond with caregivers and feel comfortable in new environments
• The ‘good child’ is entangled with the ‘good mother’
• If we don’t care for ourselves, we rely on our world to be okay, in order for us to be okay
• Don’t collapse when your own anxious attachment rises when your child struggles
• Not hinging our worth based on society’s standards of ’successful children’

Five years on from our first episode on this topic (episode 180) we revisit where our families are at and how we view the concept of lying and Santa. We hope this conversation closes some loops, opens some others, and gives you great conversation starters to decide how you want to do this with your family.

In this this episode we discuss:

• Being the keeper of the magic
• The responsibility that comes with knowing
• Our children moving to being *part* of the creation of magic
• Conversations on sharing this knowledge with siblings
• Eventually the lie comes undone
• Allowing kids to make their own narrative
• Asking ‘what do you think?’
• Weaponising Santa and the Elf
• Santa threats coming from a place of desperation when you’re feeling threatened
• The defining factor on whether your child learning the truth is shattering or hurtful, rests on the degree to which you’ve used Santa as a tool for control and coercion.
• Considering the transition to knowing the truth, as a growth point in their relationship skills, by considering the needs and wants of others.
• Creating your own rituals, magic and family traditions

Parenting neurodivergent children is a constant process of acknowledging ourselves and learning to see ourselves within a culture that fusses solely on that child. We can find ourselves cycling in grief, despair, despondency and complete exhaustion, so this podcast is more a conversation highlighting that your struggle is real AND you need supporting too.

In this episode we discuss:

• The collective undervaluing of care work
• The patriarchal motherhood construct that you should meet your child and have a never-ending wellspring of capacity
• Internalising the idea that you’re supposed to show up regardless of the cost to your own wellbeing
• Feeling undermined, judged, minimised and isolated as a mother
• The unseen and invisible work of how parenting neurodivergent children can impact your career
• Moving beyond ‘I’ve just got to parent better’
• Services that cancel out the experience of the mother and the couple
• Feeling like you don’t get to be who you are because of the huge needs of your child
• Fearing the railroading of your day, and capacity, that creates highly anxious states within you.
• How do we integrate neurodivergent needs within the family system without simmering tension and resentment?
• Moving beyond ‘why can’t I keep up with my peers who have neurotypical kids’?
