These workshops have changed my life in ways I never imagined possible. I found a link to this course at 3am, during a time I was completely broken and with no light at the end of the tunnel. After learning the journey of motherhood, it was so clear to me that I was stuck and needed to push to the balance step. I learnt that this step did exist, and other Mothers had reached it. This course taught me, yes it is hard for us Mothers who have kids with a disability, it wasn’t my lack of ability to be strong or cope compared to others. This course gave me permission to do things for me, ask for help, hand over responsibility to others and connect with things/people that give me joy again. It linked me to services, support groups and other Mothers groups that I never knew existed. It started with some small changes, and they have just multiplied. I have made over 20 changes to my life, and it won’t end just because the course did. I have goals to move towards and intend to keep making more. After so many years in darkness totally overwhelmed by my children’s needs, I am finally in the light again. Thank you for having this course, two amazing facilitators who gave me lots of little hints and encouragement in my journey and will always be the little voices inside my head that say… What have you done for yourself today?!
