Izzy is joined by autism consultant, former speech therapist, and mum of three autistic adult children, Lisa Galley. Together, they chat about the often-overlooked emotional and physical toll of parental burnout, particularly when raising neurodivergent children.
Lisa shares her personal journey through two burnout collapses, the moment she hit rock bottom, and how she rebuilt her life around micro moments of calm, the 'F-It bucket' and bedtime rituals.
