このコンテンツについて
What if your need to control everything — the routines, the therapies, the endless meetings — wasn’t just about being prepared… but about being afraid?
In this raw and reflective episode, I explore how the urge to manage every detail of our child’s life is often rooted in fear: fear of judgment, fear of failing them, fear of what might happen if we don’t get it exactly right. I open up about my own journey through post-diagnosis matrescence, emotional burnout, and the slow, painful realisation that all my striving was leaving me disconnected from myself and my child.
Together, we’ll unpack:
Why control often masks deeper fears
How matrescence amplifies anxiety for mothers of neurodivergent children
The emotional and physical cost of trying to “get it all right”
What happens when we start to loosen our grip
Real-life reflections on trust, presence, and letting go — without giving up
This one is for every mum who’s ever felt like she’s the only thing holding it all together — and is quietly falling apart in the process.
