The exhaustion you hide from is dragging you down.
It’s as if your life is a broken record and all your obligations play on repeat. But you can’t voice how dissatisfying this is because you’re the mom – and you’re the one who’s supposed to hold your family together.
You wanted children more than anything. To start a family of your own with all the uphill battles and glorious moments it would entail. But as soon as the idea of “special needs” came into the picture, the confidence you’d cultivated was gut-punched right out of you.
No matter how much you love your kids, you weren’t prepared for the soul-sucking sacrifice of caring for someone with different needs. You know you need to start taking care of you if your family is ever going to be free to enjoy life, and you’re ready to accept your situation for what it is and find the good.
You’ll never know the real reason your child was born different than other kids, but you see their potential and know they can succeed with the right support.
The problem though is that you feel that because you’re the mother that this support falls on you. It’s as if the cause of the special needs is your fault and if you just try hard enough, you can make up for whatever it is that went wrong.
Along the way, you kept putting in more and more effort. And your child did make improvements. Which only made you try harder and further your exhaustion cycle.
It’s shameful to admit you just want a moment away from it all. To think of yourself for once without feeling burdened or guilty that your attention isn’t focused on your child or their problems. But the truth is, you can feel more confident as a mom, you can have a freer, more spontaneous family life, and you can get rid of the feeling that your child’s extra needs are your fault.

Yes, It Can Be About You Too!
Do you ever feel that the attributes of being scatterbrained, forgetful, late or disorganized described you to a T? Maybe you describe yourself or explain your behaviors throughout the day or week to others with these words. How can any organized and together mom be so disorganized?
The art of being a mom especially a mom with a special needs child does not happen instantly or can be undone once you are in the spiral of chaos.

But together we can simplify and create a plan to create a more balanced, purposeful and organized life for you all!
