Have you ever wished you had a guidebook to be by your side as you navigate the complexities of life? One that was written by a best friend, told you what to expect, and gave practical advice to help you through?

That's exactly what Kelley Coleman has written in her book, "Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child." 

In this episode, Kelly shares her personal journey of raising a son with multiple disabilities and offers invaluable advice not only for parents navigating similar paths, but for every human who wants to understand how to interact with empathy and show up in meaningful ways for others.

You'll learn:

•  Why we should all be following people whose life experience is different from our own. 
•  Who to turn to when you want to learn something about another community.
• What's a better strategy than  filling the air with words when you don't know what to say.  
• How and why to encourage self-advocacy in children.
• Why it's important to acknowledge the hard.
• And so much more...
