67 | Embracing the Journey of Special Needs Parenting
Valerie Arbeau's incredible journey as a special needs mom began with the harrowing birth of her first child, Melody Anne, who defied a dire prognosis to thrive. Her story doesn't stop there—it extends to navigating the complexities of raising a second child with ADHD and high-functioning autism. Valerie's resilience and love shine through as she shares the emotional highs and lows of her parenting path, offering profound insights and lessons learned along the way.
We dive into the heart of parenting without attachment to outcomes, an essential mindset when raising children with unique challenges. But mostly, this episode explores how embracing the journey, focusing on a child's unique strengths, and finding joy in the present moment can transform the parenting experience, especially amidst the pressures faced by new parents.
Valerie is a certified health and life coach dedicated to empowering moms of children with special needs. Valerie has been married to Scott for over 30 years and they have two children, both with special needs. With over 30 years of experience as a licensed physical therapist, Valerie brings a wealth of knowledge to her coaching practice. Her mission is to help these incredible women live with intention, find strength in their unique circumstances, and navigate the challenges of motherhood. Through her guidance they reclaim their power, inspire others, and celebrate their resilience.
You can connect with Valerie at her website and on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Also check out her podcast, Circle of Strength .

Hey! Are you a parent of a loved one with a disability? Have you ever wanted to be on a podcast? Then I want to hear from you! Literally! Send me an audio message that I can include in an upcoming special episode.
Just click here to be directed to a website where you can record your response to the following question:
If you could go back in time to when your child was first diagnosed with a disability, what would you tell yourself?
I would LOVE to hear from you!!
And finally, if you have been wondering how long you need to keep certain documents, whether its a utility bill, and IEP, medical records, or an insurance policy, I have a quick and accessible one-page document for you to download that shares exactly how long you should be holding on to these items and when you can let them go (e.g. shred and/or recycle.)
Click here to get on my email list and I will send this handy doc straight to your inbox.
And I promise I won't start bombarding your inbox with emails -- that is not my style! I just want to be able to stay in touch and keep you informed occasionally of resources to help you reclaim whatever it is YOU need!
Happy Organizing!
