In this episode, a parent carer shares her deeply personal journey into special needs parenting after her child experienced a sudden epileptic fit at age seven, despite no prior developmental concerns. 

What followed were frequent seizures, long hospital stays, and a diagnosis of complex epilepsy that affected every developmental milestone, leading to global developmental delay.

She speaks honestly about the years of denial, the toll on her mental health, and the long road to acceptance. Now an advocate for children with disabilities and their families, she offers hope, understanding, and reassurance to parents navigating similar paths.

This conversation serves as a reminder that you are not alone—and that support, healing, and purpose are possible, even when life changes unexpectedly.
