I'm starting a live Q&A series- ND mums Q&A: the stuff nobody talks about
And I mean it. The real stuff. The questions you type and delete. The ones you whisper to yourself at 11pm. The ones you're too scared to ask anywhere else. The kinda stuff I'm talking about — Why do I lose my temper with my kid and then hate myself for it — How do I explain my child's ND to family who just don't get it — Why am I so exhausted even when I haven't done anything — How do I stop feeling like I'm failing my kid every single day — Why do I feel more ND since my child got diagnosed — How do I get through a meltdown without completely falling apart myself Sound familiar? Drop yours below 👇 or DM me if you want to stay anonymous and I'll answer it live. No names. No judgement. Just real honest talk for ND mums who are done suffering in silence 🩷 I am going to be streaming LIVE on Insta, TikTok and Youtube… and of course if you cannot join the live, I will give you the YT link to get your questions answered. what do you actually want to know? And if you know anyone who this would be great for please tag away and share Drop your question below Or if you want to stay anonymous just DM me and I'll answer it on the live without your name ever coming up. No judgement. No filter. Just honest answers for ND mums who are done pretending everything's fine. Love Naomi x x x

Hey there epic mums 💗 New week and final full week of the month. This one is about bringing it all together. Over the last few weeks we’ve explored: • Overwhelm (and why you’re not broken) • Masking (and how much energy it takes) • Repair (and how connection is rebuilt) This week we’re focusing on something that sits underneath all of it… 🔥 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 & 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 Because it’s very hard to regulate, unmask or repairwhen you’re constantly abandoning yourself. 🌿 𝗧𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬 🕥 10:30am UK time Real, Raw, Regulated LIVE This week we’re diving into: Self-Respect Before Self-Love We’ll unpack: • Why “self-love” can feel out of reach when you’re overwhelmed • What self-respect actually looks like in real life (not fluffy bullshit) • The subtle ways mums abandon themselves every day • How small boundaries support your nervous system Come as you are. 🌱 𝗪𝗘𝗗𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬 🕤 9:30am UK time Practice Lab – Premium Members This is where we gently put this into practice. This week we’ll be working on: Boundaries That Actually Feel Doable We’ll explore: • Where you’re over-extending or saying yes when you mean no • What your nervous system does before you abandon yourself • Practising small, realistic boundary language • How to hold a boundary without guilt spiralling No pressure.

WHATS ON THIS WEEK 23RD TO 29TH MARCH IN MUMS EMBRACING NEURODIVERSITY
I DIDN’T GET THE ROLE… AND I KNEW EXACTLY WHY
I applied for something a role I really wanted and I didn’t get it, and do you know what, when I got the feedback back, they were right, and that’s the bit that hit me the most because I couldn’t even argue it, I could see exactly what I’d done. So she said she loved my energy on a recent group call I joined, loved how I came across, felt really drawn to me… and then she read my responses and it just didn’t match that at all, she said it felt like AI, really formal and not aligned with how I showed up. And I was just sat there like… for fuck’s sake, because I knew, I knew exactly what had happened. I went straight back into what I can only describe as my Social Worker brain, like structured, professional, report-writing mode, and I didn’t even think about it, I just defaulted, questions… answers underneath… Google doc… the whole thing like I used to do for court reports. And this is where my brain does what it does… because I’m dyslexic, because of how I was trained, because of masking if I’m really honest… I have this “safe” way of communicating that sounds right, sounds professional, ticks the boxes…Plus with my Autism I mirror things that I see, things like dashes and dots. …but it’s not actually me. And I’ve done SO much work on using my voice, like really using it, showing up as me, saying things how I actually say them, not overthinking every word… and then on one thing, one simple task, I just slipped straight back into that version of me that knows how to be accepted… but doesn’t actually reflect who I am now. That’s the bit that peed me off. Not that I didn’t get it… but that I abandoned myself in that moment without even realising. And I think this is where neurodiversity comes into it in a way people don’t always talk about… that default settingthat maskingthat “this is how I SHOULD say it” voice it’s fast… it’s automatic… and it often kicks in when something matters. So I messaged her back and I just owned it, explained it properly, didn’t try and dress it up, just said yeah… that’s exactly what I did.
