In this raw and powerful episode, I open up about the hardest lesson I’ve learned as a mother — and how it changed the way I think about investing in support.
When I tried to navigate my son’s special education needs by myself, I lost six years of his growth and development. Not because I didn’t care — but because I thought I had to do it all alone. I didn't even know advocates existed. By the time I realized how much help was available, I’d paid for it in time, stress, and missed opportunities.
Just like so many women who come into my program, I had to grieve what could have been — and then make a bold decision to stop the cycle and invest in a better future.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
🔶 The emotional cost of “doing it yourself” — and what finally broke me
🔶 Why I spent money I didn’t technically have to save my son’s future
🔶 The grief that hits when you realize how much sooner things could have changed
🔶 How this same pattern plays out in women stuck in diet culture and body shame
🔶 A powerful mindset shift that could save the next 6 years of your life
This one’s for the woman who thinks she should be able to fix it all on her own — and needs to hear that it’s safe and smart to ask for help.
