Enjoyed the episode, got a suggestion or a question send me a textIn this episode of The Untypical Parent Podcast, I’m joined by Chrissa Wadlow from Sunshine Support, and this one turns into a proper real-life chat (the kind I know so many of us need).Chrissa shares her journey as a SEND parent, including the very real reality of battling systems, being judged, and the toll that takes on your health and your whole family.From there we get into boundaries, not just “rules for kids”, but the boundaries we need as parents to stay well. We talk about how to hold boundaries at home, how to protect yourself in meetings, and why noticing your nervous system signs (and stepping out when you need to) is a skill worth practising.We cover:The trauma and exhaustion of fighting for provisionBoundaries as protection (not punishment)Teamwork at home + sharing the loadHandling meetings without reacting in the momentModelling emotions and recovery for our kidsLinks:Sunshine Support + Sunshine AcademyChrissa’s podcast: Sip of Sunshine Support the show
