Welcome back to Conversations with a SEND Mum and to the start of Season 4. In this solo episode, host Nicole Bateman sets the tone for the season ahead with an honest, heartfelt look at what’s really going on behind the scenes as a parent of a neurodivergent child.

Nicole shares her personal reflections on:

• The quiet exhaustion of parental burnout and why it needs more space in the conversation
• The emotional impact of seizures, not just on the child, but on the whole family
• That limbo feeling of school ending and summer beginning and how to make transitions feel safer and smoother for our children

You’ll also get a peek at what’s coming up in Season 4: incredible guests, lived experience, practical tips, and honest conversations that help you feel less alone and more equipped.

Whether you’re navigating epilepsy, anxiety, school transitions, or just trying to get through the week this episode is for you.
