Make Life Less Difficult

Kris Burbank: Navigating Disability in Families


Listen Later

My guest today is Kris Burbank.

Kris’s website begins with the phrase: Learn to Bloom.  Kris embodies this admonition in a deep way and helps others learn to bloom amidst the challenges of life.  

As the proud mother of three grown children, including a son born four months premature with severe cerebral palsy, Kris loves working with parents to help them figure out how to make the most of their lives.  She helps parent navigate with joy, compassion, and humor (even when it’s messy!).

Through her own family’s experience with CP, ADHA, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more, Kris says she continues to learn life’s lessons daily.  She acknowledges the difficulty of parenthood and she also emphasizes that support and community and knowledge can enable us to be our truest and best selves and can make life less difficult.

As an executive leadership coach, Kris connects this reality to positive impacts in our professional performance.  She’s working to help leaders develop their leadership potential as courageous and effective leaders because the world needs them!  Kris has her ACC accreditation with the International Coach Federation.

Kris, thank you for sharing your journey, stories, and lessons learned with us here!
