Live Well. Love Strong.

Gaining Access with Garia Moore


Listen Later

In this conversation, Sarah sits down with Garia Moore, a mom whose strength and honesty have inspired countless families in the disability community. Garia shares her journey raising her son Sebastian, who was born early and later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. She talks about navigating early intervention, fighting for the right educational placements, and trusting her intuition even when the system told her something different.

Garia opens up about what access really looks like for families like ours. She explains how she sought out camps, community programs, and social spaces so Sebastian could live a full and connected life, and why getting our kids out into the world matters for everyone. Her stories about inclusion, friendships, advocacy, and being seen remind us that visibility creates change.

She also speaks honestly about single motherhood, burnout, and the long process of learning how to care for herself after years of pouring everything into her child. Her reflections on resilience, community, and the people who stepped into her life along the way bring warmth and hope to caregivers who may feel isolated or overwhelmed.
