What happens when motherhood doesn't just change you - it completely redirects your life's work?

Pamela Aculey is the creative-tech founder behind MIXD Reality - the UK's first inclusive augmented reality picture book.

But first, she was a mother being dismissed in appointments, watching her autistic son Walter disappear in a world that wasn't built for him.

In this conversation:

→ How her mother's refusal to accept the status quo gave her the blueprint for advocacy

→ The moment she stopped trusting professionals and started trusting herself

→ Her own autism diagnosis and how it reframed everything

→ The invisible labor of fighting to be believed about your own child

This isn't inspiration porn. This is what happens when frustration, love, and refusal to accept invisibility collide.

If you've ever felt dismissed or like you're juggling too much while trying to change something broken - this will remind you why your mission matters.
