Complex Kids, Simple Solutions

Erin Trier – From Burnout to Balance: How I Learned to Care for Myself While Raising a Complex Kid

Michelle Choairy Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode of Complex Kids, Simple Solutions, host Michelle Choairy sits down with women’s wellness coach and medical mom, Erin Trier, for a candid conversation about what it really looks like to take care of yourself when you’re raising a child with complex needs.

Erin shares how her own journey—from fitness burnout and hormone imbalance to simple, sustainable self-care—changed everything about how she shows up as a mother, advocate, and coach. Together, they unpack why moms often end up at the bottom of their own to-do list, and how shifting that priority can be the most powerful gift we give our kids.

This conversation is real, relatable, and filled with refreshing takeaways—especially if you’ve ever felt like “self-care” is just another task you don’t have time for.
