EP 220: Mini Pep-Talk for When You Feel Like You’re Failing

If you’ve clicked on this episode because you’re feeling like you're failing—at parenting, at keeping it together, at helping your child—I'm really glad you’re here.

Because first, I want you to know this: you’re not failing. You’re doing something incredibly hard. Parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system, whether your child has been impacted by trauma, or has sensory differences, or just has a brain wired a little differently, is extremely intensive parenting. 

I created this episode so you can:

  • Easily return to it when you need a ‘mini pep talk’
  • Listen in a short period of time- I know I’m usually a little long-winded
  • Be reminded as often as you need: this isn’t your fault. You’re not failing
