In this episode, I sit down with Claire @athenticallyyouspeach to talk about one of the most important—and often overlooked—topics for parents of neurodivergent children: self-care. Claire shares some insightful thoughts on how even small moments of self-care can make a big difference for parents, helping them stay regulated and better equipped to support their children.
We dive into what self-care can look like, especially for parents juggling the unique challenges of raising neurodivergent kids. Clare shares some real-life examples and strategies that have worked for families she’s worked with, and we talk about how being in a good, regulated place ourselves allows us to be more present and effective for our children.
Claire also highlights the importance of community and how having a strong village can make all the difference in maintaining mental and emotional health as a parent. It was such a powerful conversation, and Clare’s insights into how taking care of our mental health can have a ripple effect on the whole family are incredibly inspiring. If you’re a parent or caregiver looking for practical self-care strategies, this episode is for you!
