The Rare Life

Mindfulness for Medical Parents w/ Chrissy McGuire


Listen Later

Meditation might seem like a luxury when you’re managing meds, appointments, and survival mode. But for some of us, it becomes a lifeline.

In this episode, Chrissy McGuire shares how mindfulness helped her survive the NICU, find her footing as a single mom to two disabled kids, and notice the small moments of joy that still exist in the chaos.

Chrissy also leads us through a guided meditation, right inside the episode—a short, calming practice you can return to again and again, especially on the days that feel too heavy to carry alone.
