The conversation around self care is EVERYWHERE at the moment and it’s a buzz term that’s being bandied about for parents and carers of children with neurodivergences. But how much of it is helpful? What is TRUE self care? Why is it important? And how can we find realistic and achievable ways to help us be the best we can, to also give our children our best?
Also released this week are a collection of mini-sodes that walk you through short, realistic moments of calm that you can call on in those moments when it all feels out of control.
Carer burn out is a real and way too frequent condition and we want to help you find realistic ways to stem the tide.
We’re joined by Sheree Inglis, Wellbeing Coach, Yoga Teacher & Reiki Master who’s passion is empowering women to prioritise their own wellbeing. I can’t think of anyone better to take part in this conversation!

Have you ever noticed that certain body movements can help your children feel safer in their own skin? Do you have a wriggler or a roller or a bouncer? Do they seek out your touch or shy away from it?
Understanding your child’s vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile systems can be a key to helping them feel grounded and comfortable when other stimuli are overwhelming.
We will be discussing what these systems are, why they are so important to the neurodivergent child and how you can be proactive in introducing ways that help these systems to support your child’s regulation journey.
We're joined by Lisa Hughes of Occupational Therapy Helping Children as she shares more than thirty years experience of helping children feel comfortable in their bodies.

Occupational Therapists (OTs) can seem like magical “catch-all” wizards for our neurodivergent children. So in this episode we break down what an OT is, what they do and how they do it.
We delve into the many ways an OT can support your neurodivergent child’s growing brain and why are they are fast becoming the essential spoke to your child’s support wheel.
We’ll also answer some of our audience questions about OTs so we can demystify the incredible work that they do.
Speaking with Stephanie Van Velzen, an OT for over `15 years and Practice Director of Uplift Therapy Ballarat, she’ll aim to help us understand how an OT can support your neurodivergent child.
