In this episode, I sit down with Candice Boyd to talk openly about the realities of raising a child with autism, the traumatic moments most families never talk about, and what explosive meltdowns actually look like. Candice shares how her daughter’s behaviour changed almost overnight, how food triggers played a role, and the emotional toll it took on her as a parent. We also explore mum-guilt, burnout, and how Candice turned pain into purpose by creating SheRest, a community that offers connection, support, and respite for mothers raising autistic children. This episode is real, raw, and deeply moving.
