"Why is parenting so much harder for me?") can be signs of grieving the life we thought we'd have • Why grief comes in waves and how to recognize when you're experiencing it • The importance of building neuro-affirming support systems that honor who you actually are, not who you "should" be If you've been feeling stuck between acceptance and longing for something different, this episode offers a gentle perspective shift that might just change how you view your neurodivergent experience.
