About this listen

The Breathe & Bond Podcast is a heart-led space where SEN parenting, sisterhood, and womanhood meet. Hosted by Tola and Tiwa, 2 Nigerian mums raising autistic sons. Here we keep it real: the joy, the mess, the healing, and the hope. With laughter, reflection, and special guests, we explore culture, faith, identity, and motherhood. This podcast is here to spark change and serve as a resource for tribes raising neurodivergent children—especially those often left out of the conversation.

  • Episode 8: Letter To Our Autistic Sons
    Sep 24 2025

    In this tender episode, Tola and Tiwa write and read love letters to their sons, raw, honest words that hold grief, pride, forgiveness and fierce hope. They speak the things they’ve longed to say out loud: the small joys, the hard truths, and the promises they make for the future.

    One of the quiet, often unspoken struggles for SEN parents is imagining what life will look like for their child when they’re no longer here. In this episode we don’t wait for that moment; we voice the things we want our sons to remember, whether we are here or not.

    This is a quiet, heartfelt space for any parent who’s ever needed to name their love, their fear or their dreams.

    Grab a cuppa (and maybe a tissue), and if it moves you, try writing one of your own, then tuck it away or share it with someone who needs to hear it. 💛

    In this heartfelt conversation we welcome Tiwa’s dad and Tola’s husband to the mic. They share lived experience of fatherhood and grandfatherhood, as Nigerian men - within SEN families.
