Being a mental health advocate isn't just her profession—it's her life.

Chloe's personal journey as a mother to an autistic child didn't just inspire her work; it enables it.

This lived experience is the lens through which she find true understanding, connection, and purpose. Chloe said, she couldn't do this work any other way.

In the world of mental health policy, Chloe Jesson bridges two realities. By day, she's a deputy CEO advocating for systemic reform. By life, she's a mother navigating the complex NDIS for her neurodiverse daughter.

In this episode of Navigating Disability, we talk about the dual perspective drives her core belief: that true, effective policy must be woven from the threads of real, lived experience. For Chloe, the goal is clear: to build a system where everyone feels genuinely seen, connected, and supported, not just in theory, but in practice.

A powerful reminder we heard from Haseeb.

Healing isn't a fluffy, always-pleasant process. Often, it's the opposite. It's choosing the hard truth over the comfortable lie. It's feeling the feels you've been running from.

Your breakthrough is waiting on the other side of what you're willing to sit with.

They say healing is quit, and sometimes it is. But for Haseeb, it was also the loud, brave decision to finally leave what was familiar.

He pushed himself out of his comfort zone, and turns out, that very action brought so much healing.

Healing doesn't always come from a place of comfort. Sometimes, it comes from the brave decision to leave it.

A Letter to the Quiet Force of Nature:

Society has many names for heroes, but often forgets the ones who wear no capes—the ones whose superpower is a boundless, patient love. You are that hero.

Your battlefield is often the quiet of your home. Your weapons are patience on a hard day, creativity when plans fail, and a smile when you want to cry. You fight for dignity, for understanding, for a little more light in your loved one's world.

You are more than a caregiver. You are an advocate, navigating complex systems. A nurse, tending with gentle hands. A teacher, finding new ways to connect. A cheerleader, celebrating victories the world overlooks.

Today, honor the multifaceted, incredible person you are. You are not 'just' anything. You are essential. You are a testament to the profound impact one dedicated heart can have on another human being. Wear your invisible cape with pride🩷

Happy New Year from all of us at Navigating Disability 🤍

As we step into a new year, we’re not wishing for perfection.
We’re wishing for connection.
For understanding.
For moments of rest when things feel heavy.

You matter.
Your experience matters.

For Haseeb, getting an ADHD diagnosis wasn't an end—it was the beginning of a journey to learn how to be kind to himself. It’s not about “fixing” what’s broken, but about understanding, accepting, and rebuilding from within.

True healing begins when you have the courage to move out of your comfort zone and gently embrace the parts of yourself you’ve long ignored.

✨ In this reflective episode, Navigating Disability sit with Abdul Haseeb, a Pakistan’s first ADHD coach, storyteller, and mental health advocate, speaking from lived experience.

Diagnosed at 14 without support, he navigated the “ADHD effect”, a drive to push limits paired with intense self-criticism.

He opens up about:
• The emotional weight of high self-expectations
• His journey to self-acceptance
• Learning to “bomb” himself with daily positivity
• Building the ADHD Rebel Center from community need

Now based in Perth, Haseeb shares universal insights on finding your place in a world not designed for you.

You’re not stepping into 2026 with urgency.

You’re stepping in with care.
Care for everything you’ve been carrying.
Care for what you can realistically give.
Care for how your days, your energy, and your nervous system need to feel.

You’re not chasing a new version of yourself.
You’re learning to stand as who you already are —
without guilt, without over-explaining, without running on empty.

2026 doesn’t need you stronger.
It needs you supported.
It needs you resourced.
It needs you present enough to receive rest, help, and moments of ease.

This is the year of gentle decisions.
Clear boundaries.
Permission to pause.
And care that includes you — not just everyone else.

You’re stepping forward differently.
More honestly.
More sustainably.
And you’re not going back to burnout.

If this feels like your energy too, leave a ✨ below.

Save this if you’re stepping into 2026 with compassion for yourself.

Tell us — what are you leaving behind this year?
