Ep 28 // When Rest Feels Impossible: Parenting Through Sensory Burnout

 

This episode is a permission slip to stop pushing through and start tuning in. You don’t have to earn your rest. You don’t have to do this alone. Please share this episode with a fellow mama who needs to hear this!

In today’s solo episode we dive into what self-care really means for moms raising neurodivergent children—especially when you're deep in the trenches. She shares vulnerably about her own experience of burnout, early motherhood, and the unraveling that came before realignment.

Rather than pushing through and performing wellness, Victoria guides you toward the real work: decoding your child’s sensory needs and tuning into your own. This episode explores the spin cycle of co-burnout, why traditional self-care advice often backfires, and how nervous system-first support for both you and your child is the path forward. You’ll also hear about the difference between sensory input and output (hello, praxis!), and why understanding this distinction can change your parenting game.

Here she also shares tools like the Neuro Signature quiz, the Clarity Lab, and her signature Sensory Blueprint process, all designed to help you shift from overwhelmed to empowered—without adding more to your plate. If this message hit home, I would love to hear from you. Send me a message, join the newsletter, or inquire about upcoming workshops. Most of all, know this: there is a way through, and it's not by fixing yourself—it's by honoring what you and your child actually need.
