Mommas Have Special Needs Too
This podcast is for you Mommas! Not for your special needs kiddos, although they will definitely benefit from anything you do to take care of yourself! Here I talk about how to go from surviving to thriving when you feel the rug has been pulled out from underneath your life. I’ll share the exact tools and principles you need to create a life you enjoy, WITHOUT changing your circumstances first. I know! And yes, it is possible for you.

In this episode I talk about the idea that you DON'T need to be better than you are. That this train of thought actually keeps you from doing what you want to be doing and that it isn't actually realistic.

So many things can erode self-confidence. From the unexpected life events to continued failed attempts to make a positive difference for your child, to dead end after dead end. Whatever it is, self-confidence can be rebuilt. And rebuilt into a more resilient and long lasting self-confidence.

Hey there! Merry Christmas! In this Christmas episode I talk about how to address the emotional struggles that we all often feel when we get together with family for the holidays. And it’s not what you think.
It’s manuals. That’s right. Our book of unwritten expectations that we have for our loved ones.
In this episode I cover:
- what a manual is, with examples
- how we use them
- how they cause disappointment and frustration
- and what to do if you want to change your holiday experience to one your enjoy.

It can be quite difficult to watch your neurotypical children develop a long side your special needs children. To see what experiences they are missing out on. To witness loneliness, sadness, frustration, and anger. But this is only one side of the coin and dare I say the other side of the coin makes it all worth it!
In this podcast I share an experience that I had with my oldest son where he shares his thoughts and what it's like to have siblings with special needs. As he shares I get to witness some of the benefits he gets from it, such as compassion, gratitude, a desire to show love to his siblings, and a desire to connect and support them.
