The Special Needs Sibling Podcast

35. Advocating for Your Sib and Raising Children

Listen Later

In this episode, Julie and Charlene discuss advocating as a sib, growing up in a multicultural family, and the journey of raising your own children. Julie’s story as a sib led her to start her own nonprofit, The Natalie Project, and engage in advocacy efforts in California on behalf of people with special needs. 

Episode highlights:

  • Growing up in a multicultural family
  • Raising children
  • The "parentification" of sibs
  • Advocating for a better future for people with special needs
  • The hope that comes with building a new life after moving out of your parents’ home
