This week is part one of an episode with Laurie Morris.  Laurie is a mom to three, her son was diagnosed with Autism diagnosis 4 years ago. She is also a special education teacher. <br/><br/>Laurie begins by sharing about her love of making things look beautiful and out together. She actually started a ballon decorating business in the middle of the pandemic last year! This need to have the perfect picture also carries into her personal life and really made it difficult for her to come to terms with her sons diagnosis and all that it meant for their life. <br/><br/>Finally the weight was too much for her to bear and she made the bold decision to share her sons diagnosis and their families story with the world. Laurie explains that the more she is open and shares about her son, the more she comes to terms with his diagnosis and knows that it’s all going to be okay. She realizes she doesn’t have to please everybody anymore.<br/><br/><br/>Connect with Laurie:<br/>IG: <a href='https://instagram.com/laur_morr?igshid=1fh8tvk4flbdc'>https://instagram.com/laur_morr</a><br/>Business IG: <a href='https://instagram.com/morr_balloons?igshid=dmoimqbkvyn0'>https://instagram.com/morr_balloons</a><br/><br/><br/></p><p><b>Connect with Kara, host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast:<br/></b>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/Kararyska/'>https://www.instagram.com/thespecialneedsmompodcast/</a><br/>Website: <a href='https://www.kararyska.com/contact/'>https://www.kararyska.com/</a></p><p><br/></p>

Your story is unique; it’s hard to find a place where you belong or where you don't feel so isolated and alone. Your child might have a rare disease, be undiagnosed or experience something that almost everybody has heard of like Downs syndrome yet the weird thing is that whether your child has an intellectual disability or physical disability, the experience as a mother is so similar. So regardless of your child’s disability, we can all find a home in this community.</div><div>You find yourself managing everybody else's needs; your child, their siblings, and all the guilt that you have about that. All this has you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and dizzy---not knowing who to turn to or what to do next for help.

We’ll get practical and look at what it takes to stop feeling so stuck in your life.</div><div><strong>You know this podcast is for you if you find yourself googling:</strong></div><div>Overwhelmed special needs mom help</div><div>How to do self care as a special needs mom?</div><div>Dealing with anger as a special needs mom</div><div>How to manage special needs mom burnout and stress?</div><div>How do I deal with mom's guilt?</div><div>Help for myself as a special needs mom</div><div>How do I cope with a disabled child?</div><div>How do I manage the grief of my medically complex child?</div><div>How to keep from drowning as a caregiver</div><div>Support group for special needs mom or community for caregivers</div><div>I'm tired of taking care of my special needs child</div><div>Finding balance between my child’s needs and my own mamas needs</div><div>Respite and rest for special needs moms</div>
