A couple things have been on my mind as of late. The beginning of 2021 is probably not going to be a huge difference than the end of 2020, and understanding intellectual disability. In this short episode you will hear why I think this about the start of 2021 and part of our story with Andrews intellectual disability. 

My dear friend Adrienne is about as real as you can get. She tells us how it is with all her life unexpected stories from her own childhood through adulthood. I know so many of you will be able to relate to parts of her story and I can't wait for ya'll to hear it. 

 The siblings of special needs kids are often ignored, not on purpose but out of necessity of taking care of the other kiddo. We need to make sure we are making the time to let them be seen and heard. We need to make sure we are making the time to let them know they are just as important! 

This episode was super emotional for me to record and edit. There were several times Reese was ignored and we didn't even realize it. I am blessed we found a way past it but not without pain and hurt. 

I had the best time interviewing my grandmother. The one I call Meme. There was so much about her life I didn't know. And only so much I could learn in the short time we had together. She has always seemed like super woman to me and I am so honored to share her with you all. I will definitely be going back for a part 2, maybe even a part 3! 

I finally got to interview the hubby! I thought it would be good if ya'll got to know Rusty a little bit. He's funny and ornery and maybe a little smart! I truly enjoyed getting to interview him. 

November is epilepsy awareness month. In honor of that I recorded the beginning of our epilepsy journey. This episode was a lot harder to record than I thought it would be and even harder to edit. As hard as that was for me to do, I felt it necessary for anyone going through this journey so they know they aren't alone. I love and appreciate you all. Thank you for listening. 

Cheri is an amazing friend, an RN, NLP practitioner, master mindset coach and Reiki master-teacher. She and I talk all things mindset and self development. You don't want to miss her advice on how to call BS on limiting beliefs and coming to love who you actually are. 

This episode is dedicated to all moms who have suffered from mom guilt. I call BS on mom guilt while telling you one very important phrase that could change the way you think about yourself. 

Who am I and why this podcast! I mean what else would an introductory episode have lol.
