Comeback Episode Ep. 2
from Joy In Motion: Autism, Motherhood, and the Beauty in the mess · host Jessi
After two months of holidays, snow days, and never having a quiet house, I’m finally back — just me this time.In this episode, I’m sharing something I don’t usually talk about in real time: the hard moments. The ones that sit heavy. The ones that come with guilt, grief, and second-guessing.Being a support-needs parent isn’t just “hard days.” It’s the constant mental load. The hovering. The scanning. The protecting. And sometimes… the biting, the dysregulation, the moments that feel like setbacks — even when they aren’t.I'm talking about why we hover.Why inclusion takes work.Why awareness isn’t enough.And why growth can be both beautiful and messy in the same afternoon.This is real life. 🤍
