Author and disability advocate Jessica Slice joins us to talk about chronic illness, perfectionism, parenting with a disability, and why she refuses to let anyone else write her narrative. Jessica shares her journey becoming a wheelchair user and mother, and why becoming disabled made her a better parent, not an unfit one.

We get into the legal reality that in 22 states a child can be removed from a home based solely on a parent's disability, the beautiful and unconventional way Jessica became a mom through foster care, and how letting go of perfectionism changed everything in her relationship, her parenting, and her sense of self-worth.

You don’t want to miss this.
