About this listen

What does hope look like when you’re exhausted, grieving, and doing everything you can for a child who’s not getting what they need?

In this raw, reflective solo episode, I explore the tension between despair and hope — not the fluffy kind, but the grounded, gritty kind that keeps you moving when the systems fail and the load feels too heavy.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why hope isn’t a feeling — it’s a choice

  • What it means to “kick at the darkness”

  • Tiny moments that carry you through

  • The grief that lives under the surface

  • What to do when you can’t keep fighting

This one’s for every parent raising a neurodivergent or disabled child who’s been told to “stay positive” — when what you really need is someone to say: I see you. I’m here. You’re not alone.
