Therapy. It can be super helpful. If you get the right therapist for your kid. Because otherwise it can do more harm than good. In this episode I share the hard lesson we learned last time, why it went wrong and what could help you when looking for the right therapist for your kid.
Stay sane 🧘 Stay happy 💃 mom.

Monday morning brain. With three health care appointments and a funeral in the coming days I really need to get out my planner and schedule in essential relax and recharge time.
It sounds so easy. Yet somehow it's suddenly 11:30 AM and I still have to get started. Ugh. Why is this so hard? 11:30 I wanted to be at the gym, yet here I am haven't done anything yet. Or have I...
Let me take you on a journey through a regular special needs supermom morning. You might recognize a thing or two (or ten or fifteen).
This podcast is to help you realize why it is so hard to schedule in that much needed relax and recharge time. And why you should do it nonetheless. Even if your agenda always, always changes throughout the day.
Stay sane 🧘 Stay happy 💃 mom.

Special Needs and the Christmas season. Recipe for overwhelm and meltdowns. That's why in this episode I share my favorite grounding exercise to stop the overwhelm and find my inner calm. Even when you're in a crowded supermarket or at a big family gathering. Plus an extra exercise using the 5 senses that can also help snap out of the overwhelm. If your kid needs a little help to snap out of the overwhelm, this one is great to do together! And at the end I've got a few tips to help your kid at Christmas celebrations (or any family gathering for that matter).
I think I came across the snow globe exercise a couple of years ago in my favorite Christmas book: Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year by Beth Kempton. But upon rereading it I found out I gave it a little twist. Beth does the lovely Calm Christmas podcast series as well in the weeks before Christmas. It's my favorite podcast in the winter season to relax, calm down and savour the things that truly matter. I can't recommend it enough!
Stay sane 🧘 Stay happy 💃 mom.

About why you should never wait till you really have the time to start following your dream or pick up that hobby you love. Because let's be honest, as a special needs supermom there is always something going on or something to do.
Stay sane 🧘 Stay happy 💃 mom.

One more week to go before schools are out! And woman, am I tired pfffff. Those last few weeks are always packed with stress. But this year really took the cake. So, I took out an old tool once taught to wonderboy, which helped me see when it’s time to recharge and how long I really need. On hectic times it is also so easy to forget to invest in couple time. Last week we unexpectedly had an evening without kiddo’s – and it was so nice… It was a good reminder to take more quality time together, and not wait until there are no kids around. Last tip is how to make a fun summer break for everyone. Especially when you have a kiddo that needs time to adjust.

Hope you have a great summer!
Stay sane 🧘 Stay happy 💃 mom.

An episode about why it’s a good thing we don’t know the future when we get the diagnosis of our kid(s) or ourselves, why we shouldn't want to know, why we can't even know, and that today’s decision can be changed tomorrow.
Stay sane 🧘 Stay happy 💃 mom.

I was off the grid for a few weeks. Again. That’s why this episode is all about – the need to – go off the grid every so often as a special needs mom and/or woman and why you should not have to say sorry for doing so. Or feel the need to say sorry for anything else for that matter, like your messy house, having sandwiches for dinner, cancel lunch with a friend for the 2nd time, the tantrum of your kid or dealing with depression or burnout still or again.

In this episode I talk about why it is totally understandable to shut off the outside world temporarily. What was the big game changer that helped me really relax and recharge in times like this. And how a King’s gala and Mel Robbins relighted that spark inside of me that helped me show up for myself and thus the outside world.

Did you know that when your teen is dealing with a chronic illness or is neurodivergent, it significantly increases their chance on depression?
In episode 82 of the Special Needs Supermom Podcast, I talk about possible signs your teen is dealing with depression. What to say and do. And what not. Including tips from teens to parents.
Plus: why it is so important you double your relax and recharge time when shit hits the van. How this benefits not only you but your teen as well during hard times.
Stay sane 🧘 Stay happy 💃 mom.

ps. this podcast based on my experience and coaching as a special needs mom. Please consult a specialist for advice when your teen is dealing with depression or you suspect he or she is.

The hardest thing I find as special needs mom? Dealing with the relapses and depression of my kids. Meds that don't work any longer; being different; losing friends because you're no fun to play with; not getting that internship because of your condition; constantly tired because of your chronic illness or because your brain is wired differently than the outside world; not being able to do what you used to do (when even fun things are too exhausting) ...
Relapses and depression are often enough part of the special needs life. And that sucks. So, what can you do? For your kid and yourself? I share the struggles of wonderboy, supergirl and me and what they (and I) need most on darker times. I hope it helps you and your kiddo too.
Struggling and don't have anyone you feel you can turn to? Please feel free to join the PRIVATE Special Needs Supermoms FB Group (link below) to be surrounded by moms that get you. Or if that's too scary at the moment feel free to DM me if you're struggling!
Stay sane 🧘 Stay happy 💃 mom.

Goal setting with your Special Needs Child. It’s a recipe for failure and low self-esteem:
There are more roads that lead to Rome. And by the way, why Rome? Maybe your kid decided to go and is way better off in Barcelona. So, in this episode I talk about how to set goals with your kids that truly help them and how they do want to work on them.
Stay sane and stay happy mom!
