This week I have Dafne Wiswell. She is a mother to three children with individual chronic illnesses and is a coach to others and families who face these struggles. <br/><br/>Dafne gives us insight on how she has been able to find peace, despite often feeling out of control of her children’s circumstances and conditions. She relies heavily on her faith and says that healing can come in many forms, even if it’s not the way we’re expecting it. <br/><br/>Dafne shares her views on the importance of rest! If you’re a long-time listener, you know I really embrace the idea of rest and self-care. Along these lines, she also says that we as special needs moms, need to learn to say no. We simply can’t do everything and don’t need a real reason to say no. <br/><br/>Dafne does private coaching for women and also hosts what she calls the Chain Breaker Academy that focuses on getting out of the rut  of your chronic illness. <br/><br/><b>Connect with Dafne:<br/></b>Website: <a href='http://www.thechronicillnesscoach.co/'>www.thechronicillnesscoach.</a><a href='http://www.thechronicillnesscoach.com/'>co</a><br/>IG: <a href='http://www.instagram.com/dafnethechronicillnesscoach'>www.instagram.com/dafnethechronicillnesscoach</a><br/>FB: <a href='http://www.facebook.com/dafnethechronicillnesscoach'>www.facebook.com/dafnethechronicillnesscoach</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>
