⚠️ Content Warning / DisclaimerThis episode contains discussions around child abuse and suicide. Please take care while watching and feel free to pause or step away if needed. Viewer discretion is advised.

In this powerful and honest conversation, we’re joined by Marsha, founder of Black SEN Mamas, as she shares her journey of raising three neurodivergent daughters while navigating life as an autistic and ADHD mum herself.
We dive deep into what it really looks like to parent when both you and your children are neurodivergent, from the daily realities to the emotional weight that often goes unseen.

In this episode, we discuss:
✨ Living with ADHD and autism while raising three autistic children with ADHD
✨ The challenges of navigating the school system, EHCPs, and what happens when schools fail your child
✨ The story behind Black SEN Mamas and building a self-sufficient, community-led support network
✨ Understanding PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) and SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder)
✨ The impact of racism and the lack of institutional support, especially when advocating as a Black parent

This conversation is raw, eye-opening, and necessary. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone wanting to better understand neurodivergence and systemic barriers, this episode is for you.

We sit down with Mounia, a Child Sleep Consultant to talk all things sleep deprivation. Before having children, she worked long NHS night shifts supporting children with complex needs. She thought she understood exhaustion until her first baby woke up every single hour for over a year.
When health visitors and GPs couldn’t give her the support she needed, she decided to take matters into her own hands and became a sleep consultant, helping exhausted mums and babies sleep.

In Part 2 of this Mum Chat, we get into two listener dilemmas and they’re heavy.
The first is from a new mum who feels hurt and confused after her sister-in-law stopped visiting her and the baby, despite them being very close before she gave birth. The second dilemma is from a postpartum mum of three who was ghosted by her husband TWICE.
We talk family dynamics, expectations after birth, forgiveness, and knowing when enough is enough.
