Overcome the Overwhelm for Special Needs Moms

As moms of children with disabilities, it’s easy to feel like no one truly understands our lives. We may even believe that people aren’t capable of “getting it.” But what if that belief isn’t always true?

In this episode, I share a deeply personal experience speaking to my son’s 3rd-grade class about his disabilities—a conversation that completely shifted my perspective on empathy and connection.

To many special needs parents, progress can feel slow, even invisible, despite all the therapies, routines, and endless love you pour in. At times, it can be frustrating and even feel hopeless.

But what if we are measuring progress all wrong? 

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the parable of the Chinese Bamboo Tree, and how it can help us redefine growth, embrace patience, and find hope even when visible progress is hard to see. 

Tune in to learn: 

✨ How to redefine progress and celebrate unseen growth 

✨ Strategies to stay motivated when you feel stuck 

✨ Why your daily love and dedication truly matter, even if you don’t see immediate results

As special needs parents, we tend to react to the really difficult times in our lives in one of two ways:

We either pretend like everything is fine, ignoring how we feel and not face it, or we throw ourselves into fixing the problem with every ounce of energy we have in us, leaving us exhausted and burnt out. 

But what if I were to tell you there is a third option that allows you to face those problems head-on in a more effective way that doesn’t leave you overwhelmed and tired? 

In this episode, I’m sharing what this third option is and why it is LIFE CHANGING for us and our families.

As busy special needs moms, it’s easy to feel pulled in all directions, but have you ever stopped to ask: Are my choices and priorities aligned with what truly matters to me? 

In this episode, we dive into why living in alignment with your core values is essential for a life that feels fulfilling and authentic. We talk about how using your values can actually help you feel less stressed out and overwhelmed.

Have you ever noticed a little guilty feeling or discomfort when you do things that someone, somewhere along the line, told you that you shouldn't do? Like eat ice cream, or spend a Saturday afternoon watching TV instead of cleaning the house.

In this episode, I'm teaching you a simple, easy way to dissolve that twinge of guilt and discomfort so you can actually rest or enjoy things without feeling bad.

Acceptance is a skill. And like most skills, with a little practice and repetition, we can make it stronger and stronger.

In this episode, I'm sharing the step-by-step process of going from frustrated resistance to peaceful acceptance.
