A mother and her son marked his 20th birthday with a symbolic hike, reflecting on their relationship and setting intentions for the future. As they ascended Sugarloaf Peak, they pondered their past and shared aspirations. At the summit, they crossed a symbolic threshold, shedding old burdens and embracing new goals. This tradition deepened their bond and opened space for vulnerability and growth. Years later, they revisited the trail, recognising how much they’d evolved individually and together. Despite challenges, they’ve embraced life’s ups and downs, with the son embracing his neurodiversity and the mother finding her voice through her podcast. Their journey illustrates the transformative journey of parenthood, where both parent and child learn and grow together.
