What if the Mum you’re beating yourself up for not being is actually the exact Mum your children need - once you stop masking and start understanding?
In this episode, Jenny Lucas shares her late autism diagnosis at 38, the shock of not feeling that instant rush of love, the breastfeeding battles, the sensory overload, and the crushing guilt of “failing” at the motherhood she’d imagined.
What You’ll Learn
- The Bond That Takes Time: Why not feeling instant love when your baby arrives is common, painful, and doesn’t make you a bad Mum.
- Autism Behind the Overwhelm: How undiagnosed neurodivergence turned everyday motherhood into constant struggle and the relief of finally understanding why.
- You Are Enough: Letting go of the “perfect Mum” myth and embracing that doing your best with the brain you have is more than enough.
Jenny’s story is a gentle reminder that lands like a warm hug: you are enough, exactly as you are – neurodivergent wiring, messy days, and all.
