Meltdowns, Motherhood & Making Sense of It All : Raising Neurodivergent Kids (and Big-Feeling Ones)
Welcome back to another episode of Motherloading with hosts Nicky & Michelle.
With Michelle still on maternity leave, Nicky is back on another solo mission, but this week she’s joined by two of her closest friends, Claire and Robyn, both mothers of neurodivergent children.
In this raw, honest and deeply compassionate conversation, the trio open up about the realities of parenting neurodivergent kids:
- the early signs they noticed,
- the complex journey toward diagnosis (and the mixed feelings that came with it),
- and the emotional toll it can take on relationships, identity and mental health.
They speak candidly about the guilt, the constant “why?” questions, and the moments of self-doubt that so many parents experience but rarely vocalise. They also explore the challenge of balancing the needs of a neurodivergent child with those of a neurotypical sibling, ensuring no one feels overlooked or sidelined.
Claire and Robyn share incredibly valuable self-regulation and co-regulation strategies, explaining how managing yourresponse can help calm, support and gently de-escalate difficult moments. Their insights are practical, heartfelt and grounded in real-life experience.
This episode is a must-listen for any parent raising a neurodivergent child, or for anyone wanting to better understand neurodiversity with empathy and openness. It’s supportive, educational, and a reminder that you’re never alone in the journey.
