In this week's episode of 'Holding Space for Her,' Jess returns to discuss the challenges and triumphs of parenting as a neurodivergent mother. We dive into the overwhelming feedback from our previous conversation on mothers of neurodivergent children and segue into today's topic—supporting parents who themselves are neurodivergent or struggle with mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Jess and I share our personal experiences, the daily hurdles we face, and the coping strategies we've developed, from maintaining structure to practicing self-compassion. Our conversation reveals that while motherhood is challenging, especially with these added layers, it is crucial to seek help, share your struggles, and understand that you are not alone. This episode serves as a reminder of your unstoppable power and continuous evolution as a mother.
