The parenting experience with a child with medical complexities can feel worlds away from those around us. There are so many aspects that no one knows or sees. In this episode, Anna Brown shares three of her infamous “Confessions of a special-needs mama” that she has a reputation for on Instagram.

We unpack three of her—and her followers’—favorites:

1. I am not stronger than you.

2. What happens when it stops being cute?

3. I wish your pity were replaced with empathy.

This is a rebroadcast of Ep. 46: Confessions of a Special-Needs Mama w/ Anna Brown from Season 3. We will be back to kick off Season 6 on July 28th.
