THIS IS WHAT I’M REALLY NOTICING RIGHT NOW

🔥

Between being fried from having people in the house, managing Lily’s needs, planning travel, running a business, and trying to keep my nervous system regulated, I can see how quickly things pile up.

I’m not struggling because I don’t care. I’m not overwhelmed because I’m incapable. I’m overwhelmed because there are a lot of moving parts, and my brain processes them all at once.

Lots of conversations and connections are happening across my spaces, and I genuinely love that. I love getting to know people, especially mums, and I love the depth of those conversations. But it doesn’t change the fact that I still have to manage my own capacity alongside it all.

What I’m really seeing is that being a neurodivergent mum running a business isn’t about doing less or trying harder. It’s about understanding how your brain actually works and being honest about what you’re holding at any given moment.

What helps you recognise when you’re at capacity, before everything tips over?
