Hello Brave Friends! On this story episode we’re talking about being a neurodiverse mama and dealing with blameless guilt. What is blameless guilt? It’s guilt we feel when the unthinkable happens and we have no one to blame for it; like passing down genetics to our children. This guilt is tricky. It hangs around us, invisible, easily dismissed by our nearest and dearest but always finding its way back to us. How do we deal with it? Are we stuck with it?

Our storyteller, this episode, is Becky Tilley, who found out her two youngest children have a rare chromosome disorder called Koolen-de Vries syndrome (KDVS). And then, if that wasn’t stressful enough, she found out she had it too. 

Becky is a passionate advocate for embracing uniqueness and finding strength in adversity. Her personal journey with rare diagnoses, as well as her experiences as a parent, inspired her to share her story with others. Through her writing, she hopes to inspire individuals to embrace their own journeys and celebrate their unique paths.
