Your kid feels everything you're carrying. The stress. The exhaustion. The guilt. Even when you think you're hiding it.

In this episode of The emPOWERed Half Hour, Becca talks with Michelle Choairy, special education advocate and mom of a complex kid. Michelle's son was born premature, didn't speak his first word until three and a half, and has a genetic disorder so rare he's the only one in the world with his specific variant.

In this episode:

• Why so many moms don't even know what they need anymore
• How advocacy starts with understanding yourself, not just navigating systems
• Why exhaustion is a call for care, not a sign of failure
