These are the questions I hear all the time.

“I don’t have time.”
“I should be able to handle this.”
“I feel guilty focusing on myself.”
“I can’t afford one more thing.”

None of those make you weak.
They make you a caregiver in a system that expects you to do everything with very little support.

This isn’t about adding more to your plate.
It’s about fixing one part of your week that’s draining you — so the rest feels more manageable.

You’re not behind.
You’re not failing.
You’re unsupported.

And support is allowed.

I’m obsessed with my clients.
Like… deeply, proudly, unapologetically obsessed.

My best clients ask for help.
They take initiative.
They stop apologizing for needing support.
They want systems that actually work in real life...not advice that looks good on paper and falls apart by Tuesday.

If this sounds like you — welcome.
You’re exactly who I build my work for.

✨ This is the energy behind the 3-Day Caregiver Reset.
Real support. Real systems. No shame.

Being busy can be normal.
Being unsustainable is not.

Busy still leaves room for rest, recovery, and repair.
Unsustainable is when your body, your brain, and your week never get a break.

If your caregiving feels relentless instead of full, that’s not a personal problem; it’s a systems problem. And systems can be changed.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not behind. You’re overloaded …and you deserve support that actually fits your life.

This is why I do this work.

Adaptive play isn’t just about the activities.

It’s about creating space where families feel supported, seen, and less alone while navigating something that can feel overwhelming.

I’m so grateful for the families who trusted me with their time, their kids, and their questions. Watching small wins turn into confidence is everything.

Thank you for being here.

I was honored to be on Rarely Normal with Lindsay and Katelyn talking about rare-disease parenting and Quinlan’s story.

What stood out most? The power of a real village, the “magic” (and fragility) of getting equipment, and the cliff so many families feel after EI.

If you’re in this space, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to do this solo.

Caregivers are expected to be fluent in medical language, body mechanics, sensory regulation, advocacy, and paperwork…with absolutely zero training.

And then we wonder why burnout is so common.

If this post made you nod, laugh, or feel a little called out, let me say this clearly:
You’re not behind. You’re unsupported.

Caregiving isn’t “just parenting.”
It’s physical labor. Emotional regulation. Systems management. Crisis prevention.
All at once.

Support isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

This is exactly why I created the 3-Day Caregiver Reset — to help you stop carrying all of this alone and build systems that actually make your life easier.

DM RESET if you want support that fits real life.

I didn’t add a swing because it looked fun.
I added it because my kid’s body was asking for it.

Sensory seekers need movement the same way others need quiet.
When we meet that need proactively, everything feels easier.

This is one of those changes that supports both kid and caregiver.

Confession: I do not “power through” sensory overload.
I stim through it. 😅

These two fidgets live on my desk, in my bag, and sometimes in my coat pocket like emotional support objects.

🟢 Magnetic silicone balls
Perfect for when my brain needs pressure + movement at the same time. Pulling them apart, snapping them back together, rolling them in my hands. It’s regulating without requiring thought, which is exactly what my nervous system wants when I’m overloaded.

🔴 Little Ouchies
Tiny. Spiky. Surprisingly grounding. They give just enough tactile input to bring me back into my body when I’m dissociating, anxious, or overstimulated. Not painful. Just… clarifying.

This is your reminder that:
• sensory needs don’t disappear in adulthood
• regulation is not a reward, it’s a requirement
• using tools doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you
• and yes, professionals need sensory support too

Normalize supporting your nervous system before it hits DEFCON 1.

Today was a good reminder of why I love this work.

Sometimes progress isn’t about trying harder or doing more.
It’s about pausing, reassessing, and making the environment work with the child.

Equipment should support function — not create new battles.

And yes, pediatric PTs adjust equipment, problem-solve positioning, and advocate for better setups every single day.

If something in your child’s routine or equipment doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct.

You’re not being difficult. You’re being observant.

Hot take: most kids aren’t “being rude.”

They’re just copying what the adults around them were never taught.

If you’re raising a child who moves, communicates, or engages differently, you’re not asking for special treatment.
You’re asking for basic respect.

What’s one thing you wish people understood before approaching your child?
