Does parenting drain your battery faster than you can recharge? You’re not alone.
A practical, compassionate 1-hour workshop for neurodivergent parents who want to understand their social battery, reduce overwhelm, and create sustainable tools for preventing burnout.
Neurodivergent parents often experience faster ‘burnout’ because of sensory overload, emotional labour, multitasking demands, everyday parenting and advocacy (if your child has needs too). In our February webinar, we’ll think together about burnout and discuss practical strategies to understand your energy patterns and protect your well-being without guilt.
What This Workshop Covers:
In this 1-hour interactive workshop, you will learn:
What the “social battery” really is and why ND batteries drain differently
How to identify your personal battery drainers and rechargers
Fast, realistic recharge techniques for neurodivergent parents
How to “battery budget” your day to prevent overwhelm
ND-friendly ways to set boundaries with kids, partners, and family
How to build a personalised battery-protection plan you can use immediately

This workshop is gentle, low-pressure and designed with ND needs in mind.
