In this episode of Beyond The Label: A Therapist’s Perspective, I sit down with Rachelle—a courageous, compassionate mom raising two incredible children with special needs.

Rachelle opens up about her family’s journey, the emotions that come with navigating diagnoses, and the realities of parenting that go far beyond what most people see. From therapy sessions to navigating work, she shares it all with honesty and heart.

We talk about what it’s like advocating for her children, what she wishes more people understood, and the strength it takes to show up every day with love and grace.

Whether you’re a parent on a similar path or a therapist who wants to better support the families you work with, this conversation is a powerful reminder that behind every label is a story—and behind every story is a whole lot of love.
