Ever walked into a support group expecting connection and left feeling… not so supported? You’re not alone. This episode is all about navigating support groups that don’t quite meet our needs and how to find, or even create, the spaces that truly support us.
I share my first (not-so-great) support group experience, the different types of people you might encounter in these spaces, and why mismatched expectations can make things feel off. But don’t worry, this isn’t just a gripe session—I also give you actionable steps to help you find (or build) the support you need.
And if you’ve ever felt like there has to be a better way, you’re right! Let’s explore how to create meaningful, truly supportive communities together.
Resources Mentioned:
🎧 The Telepathy Tapes Podcast – A fascinating listen on telepathy in non-speaking autistic individuals.
📖 Happiness Falls – A novel featuring a character who communicates through spelling.
💙 We Are Brave Together – A fantastic organization offering support groups for special needs moms.
