Nobody tells you that being a good parent in the NDIS means becoming an expert in systems you never wanted to understand.

Or that you'll spend more time fighting for support than actually receiving it.
Or that the exhaustion isn't just physical - it's the constant low-grade panic that you're missing something, forgetting something, not doing enough.

You're managing appointments like a personal assistant, advocating like a lawyer, researching like you have a degree in disability services.

All while trying to actually parent your child.

The guilt isn't because you're failing. It's because the system expects you to be superhuman just to access basic support.

That's not sustainable. And it's not fair.

If this resonates, you're not imagining it. The load is real. And you don't have to keep carrying it solo.

Meet Tamika.

I'm a mum. A support coordinator. A coach trained in NLP and hypnotherapy. And someone who's navigated this system from both sides - as a parent trying to find support, and as the person providing it.

I started Spread Your Wings Support because I kept seeing the same pattern. Families being told what they needed instead of being asked.

Support that felt transactional instead of relational. Services that worked for the system, not the person.

And I thought, what if it could be different?

What if support felt like connection, not compliance?
What if the people showing up actually understood what it's like to feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you're navigating without a map?

That's what we've built here.

A team of peer mentors and support workers who lead with empathy, not protocols.

Support coordination that actually advocates for you. In-home and community support that's flexible, trauma-informed, and deeply human.

We're not the biggest provider. We're not trying to be.

We're here for the families who've been let down by services that didn't see them.

For the young people who need more than behaviour management. For the parents carrying more than anyone realises.

This work matters to me because I've lived it. And I know what it feels like when support finally gets it right.

If you're looking for care that sees you - not just your needs list - we're here.

The NDIS can feel overwhelming. And some of the myths we've been told? They make it harder.

So let's clear a few things up.

Myth: "If you have funding, everything should be easy."
Reality: Funding doesn't automatically mean access. Waitlists, provider availability, and navigating the system still take enormous energy - even when money isn't the barrier.

Myth: "Support workers are all the same - just pick one."
Reality: The relationship matters. Trust matters. Feeling safe enough to be honest about what's not working matters. Support is deeply personal, and finding the right fit can take time.

Myth: "You should be grateful for any support you get."
Reality: You're allowed to want support that actually supports you. Gratitude and standards can coexist. You deserve care that feels respectful, not just available.

The truth? Navigating NDIS is complex, exhausting, and often lonely. If you're feeling that weight - you're not imagining it. And you don't have to carry it alone.

We're here to walk with you through it all. 🧡

Lately I've been sitting with this question.
What does it mean to hold space without holding the outcome?

As someone who supports families through some of their hardest moments, I used to think my job was to help fix things. To have the answer. To make it better.

But what I've learned - and keep learning - is that my role isn't to rescue.

It's to witness. To validate. To stay steady while someone finds their own way through.

That's harder than it sounds. Because sitting with someone's pain without rushing to solve it asks me to trust their process... even when I can't see where it's leading yet.

And that trust? It's taught me more about my own healing than any framework ever could.

This work changes you if you let it. And I'm grateful for that.

There's a difference between teaching a child to fit in... and helping them figure out who they are.

One asks "How do we fix this behaviour?"
The other asks "What does this child need to feel safe?"

Compliance-based support focuses on making things easier for everyone else.

Connection-based support focuses on helping your child trust themselves enough to try.

That's what our peer mentors and support workers do.

They don't arrive with a behaviour plan.
They arrive with curiosity, patience, and a willingness to meet your child exactly where they are.

Because growth doesn't come from being managed.
It comes from being believed in.

Rest doesn't always look productive.

Sometimes it's staring out the window. Doing nothing that can be measured or tracked.

We've been taught that downtime is only acceptable if we've "done enough" first.
But your nervous system doesn't calculate whether you've earned a break. It just knows when it's depleted.

Real rest isn't collapsing at the end of a hard day. It's stopping before you hit empty.
If you're waiting for permission - here it is.

You're allowed to rest without justifying it.

What if this year, instead of resolutions, we talked about permission?

Permission to want things for yourself. Permission to dream beyond survival mode. Permission to believe that rest and growth can coexist.

You don't need to have it all figured out by midnight. You don't need a perfect plan or a list of goals that prove you're doing enough.

You just need to give yourself permission to imagine what feeling lighter might look like. What reconnection might feel like. What your life could be if you stopped running on empty.

That's where it starts. Not with pressure. With possibility.

Here's to a year where you get to want things for yourself too.

There's this moment that happens.

Usually around 2am. Or in the shower. Or in the frozen food aisle at Woolies.

Where you realise you can't remember the last time you did something just for you.
Not because you're a martyr. Not because you're doing it wrong.

Because caring doesn't stop. The appointments keep coming. The worry lives in your body now. And somewhere along the way, your own needs became this quiet thing you stopped mentioning.

You love them. Of course you do.
And you're so tired your bones ache.

Both things are true.

That's what our carer support recognises.

You're not an afterthought.
You're not just the person who gets them to appointments.
You matter too.

Sometimes that looks like help navigating the NDIS maze.
Sometimes it's having someone who actually understands why you cried at the paediatrician's office.
Sometimes it's just space to say how hard this is without someone trying to fix you or find the silver lining.

You're not broken. You're carrying something heavy.
And you don't have to keep doing it alone.

✨ This Christmas looks a bit different ✨

As I sit here holding our newest little human, I’m reflecting on just how much this year has asked of me.

The final stretch of pregnancy brought physical limitations, health challenges, and mental exhaustion I hadn’t anticipated. That was followed by birth complications, baby blues, and the deep adjustment that comes with welcoming a third child into our world. As a result, business life came to a sudden and unexpected halt — not by choice, but by necessity — as overall wellbeing had to come first.

While stepping back 100% wasn’t part of the plan, it was the reminder I needed: rest, healing, and presence matter. And sometimes the bravest thing we can do is pause.

I’m incredibly proud of myself for what I’ve moved through this year. Proud of choosing my health. Proud of listening to my body. Proud of navigating the unknown with honesty and grace.

For those wondering, Spread Your Wings will start reopening when school returns at the end of January. Thank you for your patience and understanding as I return in a way that supports both my wellbeing and my family.

I’m looking forward to returning in the new year — though Spread Your Wings may look a little different as I balance business alongside raising this third little soul. Growth often asks us to evolve, and I’m excited for what’s ahead. I truly believe I’ll return stronger, clearer, and better than ever in 2026.

To everyone I’ve met, supported, worked alongside, and connected with this year — thank you. Your support, patience, and understanding have meant more than you know and helped make this year meaningful despite the challenges.

For now, I’m embracing this slower season.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe, gentle end to 2025. May 2026 bring new paths, healing, and journeys ready to unfold 🤍✨

For not responding immediately.
For needing to sit with something before we can answer.
For our brains working differently than everyone else's expects.

Processing isn't slowness. It's depth.
You're allowed to take the time you need.

What if it just meant you were carrying something heavy?

I spent years thinking that asking for help was admitting defeat. That if I just tried harder, I'd prove I could handle it. That needing support meant I wasn't strong enough.

Turns out, the only thing I proved was how good I was at running myself into the ground.

Here's what I wish someone had told me earlier. Everyone needs support.

The difference is some of us were taught to hide it. To push through until we break. To believe that struggling alone is somehow more honourable than asking for help.

That's the belief worth questioning.

You're allowed to need help. You're allowed to want things to feel easier. You're allowed to stop carrying it all by yourself.
