Yesterday was about celebrating our loves. 💞
Our partners.
Our people.
Our families.

But today?
Today I want to talk about the love we have for ourselves.
For our bodies.

9 weeks postpartum tomorrow.

And no — I’m not trying to “get my body back”.
Because this IS my body.

This body grew three whole humans.
It stretched. It held life. It survived pregnancy, birth, hormones, sleep deprivation and still shows up for my babies every single day.

Is it softer? Yes.
Is my belly different? Yes.
Do I sometimes tuck it into my pants? Also yes.

And I still love her.

Because this body is not here for aesthetics.
She’s here for life.
For strength.
For survival.
For creating humans and raising them.

The scale might sit still for a while.
But healing is happening.
Strength is building.
My body is still working for me, not against me.

Postpartum isn’t about bouncing back.
It’s about learning to love the body that never stopped loving you.

I don’t need my old body back.
I outgrew her.

So many people are used to being spoken for, but not listened to.

They've had plans written about them with barely a conversation. Decisions made for them without asking what they actually need.

That's not how we do things here.

At Spread Your Wings: Supports, your voice doesn't just matter - it leads.

Whether it's support coordination, peer mentorship, or in-home support - we build everything around you.

Your values. Your preferences. Your way of being.

Because real support starts with actually listening.

Not assuming. Not deciding what's "best" for you. Not writing plans that look good on paper but don't fit your actual life.

Your needs are valid - even if they're different to others'.

Your wellbeing deserves to be a priority, not an afterthought.

And your voice belongs in every single decision made about your care.

If you've ever felt unseen in your support journey, you're not alone.

You belong here.

The quiet in the hospital after birth.

After the chaos. After your body has done something impossible.

It's just you and this tiny human, and the weight of everything that just happened.

In early December, I welcomed my newest baby. And in the stillness of that hospital room, holding him for the first time, I felt everything at once.

Relief. Exhaustion. Overwhelm. Love. Fear.

This moment right here - it's where everything changes and nothing makes sense yet.

And somehow, that's okay.

We all know the one.

The perfectly curated feed. The family who makes it all look effortless. The parent who's got it together - thriving kid, amazing routine, balance, joy, and probably great hair too.

Here's what that highlight reel doesn't show.

➡️ The three attempts it took before something finally worked.
➡️ The appointment that went sideways.
➡️ The meltdown in the car park afterwards.
➡️ The nights spent crying in the shower because they didn't know how much longer they could keep going.

Social media is a highlights package. It's the best 10 seconds of someone's hardest day, filtered and cropped to look like their everyday reality.

And when you're in the thick of it - exhausted, confused, barely coping - seeing those perfect moments can make you feel like you're failing.

You're not.

You're just seeing their edited version while living your unfiltered one.

Your messy, complicated, non-linear journey is real. And it's valid. And it doesn't need to look like anyone else's to matter.

Stop measuring your behind-the-scenes against everyone else's highlight reel.
You're doing better than you think.

These aren't just words on a page.

They're the foundation of everything we do at Spread Your Wings Support.

Community - Because isolation makes everything harder. We're building a space where families don't have to navigate alone.

Connection - To self and others. Real support starts with feeling safe enough to be honest about where you're actually at.

Self-care - Not the Instagram version. The real kind. The kind that says, "I deserve rest even when nothing is finished. I deserve support even when I'm not in crisis."

We don't just talk about these values. We live them.

In how we show up for families. In how we train our team. In how we design our services.

Because you deserve more than a provider who ticks boxes. You deserve a team that actually sees you.

What value matters most to you right now? Drop it below. 🧡

That question hits different when you can't remember the answer.

Somewhere between appointments and meltdowns and NDIS reviews, you stopped being a person with your own needs. Your own identity. Your own life outside of managing everyone else's.

And now? You're not even sure who that person was anymore.

You're allowed to exist as more than the role you fill. Your wellbeing isn't optional.

You matter too.

When did caring for everyone else become abandoning yourself?

Quick question.

When your support worker or coordinator shows up, do they ask what you need... or do they already have the session mapped out?

Because one of those approaches works for the provider's schedule.
The other works for you.

Most families don't realise they can expect more than just "consistent" support.

Consistency matters, sure. But flexibility? That's what actually creates change.

➡️ Flexibility means: your child is dysregulated today, so we skip the planned activity and just exist together in a way that feels safe.
➡️ Flexibility means: your NDIS plan isn't making sense, so we pause and rebuild it around what's actually happening in your life - not what looked good on paper six months ago.
➡️ Flexibility means: you're burnt out and can't make another decision, so we take the pressure off and just hold space until you can breathe again.

If you've ever felt like you're trying to fit into someone else's idea of what support should look like - that's the sign.

The right support doesn't make you smaller. It gives you room to be exactly where you are.

That's how we work. Always have. Always will.

There's a difference between support that helps... and support that heals.

One ticks boxes. The other builds trust.
One follows a plan. The other follows your lead.
One asks "What needs fixing?" The other asks "What do you need right now?"

Real support isn't about compliance. It's about connection.

It's about showing up with flexibility when rigidity has failed you before.
It's about believing you when you say something doesn't feel right - even if it "should" work on paper.

At Spread Your Wings Support, we don't arrive with answers. We arrive with curiosity, patience, and a willingness to walk at your pace.

Because you've spent long enough trying to fit into systems that weren't built for you.

You deserve support that actually sees you.

"My child already has a support worker. Why would they need a peer mentor?"

We hear this question a lot. And it's a good one.

Because on the surface, they might seem similar. But the impact? Completely different.

Support workers help with the practical side of life. Getting out of the house. Building routines. Learning skills. They're essential, and they do incredible work.

But peer mentors? They're not there to teach your child how to do things.
They're there to help your child figure out who they are.

Our peer mentors have lived experience. They know what it's like to feel different, misunderstood, or like they're constantly trying to fit a mould that wasn't made for them.

So when your child talks to them, they're not talking to another adult telling them what to do.

They're talking to someone who says, "I get it. I've been there. And you're not alone."
That kind of connection? It changes things.

It builds confidence. It reduces isolation. It gives young people permission to be themselves - not a more palatable version of themselves.

And that's something no skill-building session can replicate.

Peer mentorship doesn't replace support work. It complements it. And for a lot of young people, it's the missing piece that makes everything else click.

If your child needs more than task support - if they need someone who truly understands - reach out.

Sometimes growth is messy. Emotional. Non-linear.

And that's exactly how it should be.

We've been sold this idea that transformation looks like a straight line. That healing should be tidy. That if you're doing it "right," you won't stumble backwards.

But real change doesn't work like that.

Some days you feel clear. Grounded. Like you've finally figured it out.

Other days you're back in old patterns, wondering if anything's actually shifted.

That's not failure. That's the process.

Because unlearning decades of survival patterns, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment? That doesn't happen in a workshop or a breakthrough moment.

It happens in the returning. In the noticing. In the choosing differently - again and again.

Growth isn't about never falling back. It's about recognising the fall faster. Being gentler with yourself in it. And trusting that even the messy parts are moving you somewhere softer.

You're not broken because it's taking time.
You're human because it is.

Nobody tells you that being a good parent in the NDIS means becoming an expert in systems you never wanted to understand.

Or that you'll spend more time fighting for support than actually receiving it.
Or that the exhaustion isn't just physical - it's the constant low-grade panic that you're missing something, forgetting something, not doing enough.

You're managing appointments like a personal assistant, advocating like a lawyer, researching like you have a degree in disability services.

All while trying to actually parent your child.

The guilt isn't because you're failing. It's because the system expects you to be superhuman just to access basic support.

That's not sustainable. And it's not fair.

If this resonates, you're not imagining it. The load is real. And you don't have to keep carrying it solo.

Meet Tamika.

I'm a mum. A support coordinator. A coach trained in NLP and hypnotherapy. And someone who's navigated this system from both sides - as a parent trying to find support, and as the person providing it.

I started Spread Your Wings Support because I kept seeing the same pattern. Families being told what they needed instead of being asked.

Support that felt transactional instead of relational. Services that worked for the system, not the person.

And I thought, what if it could be different?

What if support felt like connection, not compliance?
What if the people showing up actually understood what it's like to feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you're navigating without a map?

That's what we've built here.

A team of peer mentors and support workers who lead with empathy, not protocols.

Support coordination that actually advocates for you. In-home and community support that's flexible, trauma-informed, and deeply human.

We're not the biggest provider. We're not trying to be.

We're here for the families who've been let down by services that didn't see them.

For the young people who need more than behaviour management. For the parents carrying more than anyone realises.

This work matters to me because I've lived it. And I know what it feels like when support finally gets it right.

If you're looking for care that sees you - not just your needs list - we're here.
