The Rare Life

188: Belief Systems + Ways They’re Affected by Disability Parenting w/ Ali, Bethany, Melissa, and Rachel


Listen Later

When you’re the parent of a medically complex or disabled child, the experience touches every aspect of our life – including our faith, often in unique and surprising ways.

Today, I’m sharing a vulnerable and tender episode, where I interviewed four different women, each coming to the table with their own different spiritual backgrounds, to share how their faith has changed since having a child with a medical complexity. Ali Miller, Rachel Alves, Melissa Kellylove, and Bethany Mikulis all share their unique experiences – from faith that strengthened, faith that changed, faith that diminished, and faith that never really existed at all.

This episode has something for absolutely everyone, no matter your religious or spiritual background, and I’m so proud of how open and respectful each of these women were as they shared their stories. This is one episode you can’t miss!

Also, a big thanks to Kate Farms for sponsoring this important episode!
