Episode 6: Carolina - Raising a Child with Autism

Carolina is a mum raising a four-year-old son with autism, and in this episode she shares her story with remarkable honesty. We talk about her own mental health journey, the grief of watching her son withdraw into his own world, and how she continues to carry that grief while showing up for him every day. She opens up about navigating the NDIS and Australia's health system, and in one of the most powerful moments of this conversation, she bravely shares what happened when desperation led her to trust the wrong person online — and the consequences that followed. If you're a parent of a child with high needs, or you want to understand autism better — this one's for you.
