What Has Fear Convinced You Is Your Job? (And Why You're So Exhausted)

Many parents of PDA, autistic, and other neurodivergent children find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly worried about their child's future. But what if fear has quietly convinced you that you're responsible for things no parent can actually control?

In this episode, I explore the difference between helping and carrying, why uncertainty is so difficult for our brains, and how fear can expand our parenting "job description" until we're carrying the weight of our child's emotions, choices, and outcomes.

We'll discuss:
• What fear has convinced you is your job
• The difference between supporting and owning your child's struggles
• Why PDA parenting feels so exhausting
• The Serenity Prayer and learning what we can and cannot control
• A simple question that can transform how you approach challenges: "Whose problem is this?"
• How to stay deeply connected to your child without losing yourself in the process

If you've ever felt responsible for making sure your child is okay, this episode is for you.
