Ep. 203 Mom Emily on Managing *Caregiver Burnout* When There's No End in Sight
"It always goes back to - NOBODY gets it." We're BACK!! And we're kicking it off with mom guest, Emily. I'm telling you right now - you will ABSOLUTELY resonate with her story!
In this episode, we talk about:

- When being a "stay at home mom" means you can't take your kids out due to your child's struggles - so you're always at home.
- The way motherhood is romanticized on social media
- The sadness of losing friendships with other adults over time because they have NT kids.
- How sharing your nervous system with your child's means you have nothing left at the end of the day.
- How finding her village has helped her reclaim her identity
- How parenting a demand avoidant kid requires a whole different approach
