Today we have with us some friends from our Charlotte days, Robert and Faye Maloney who also have a story of neurodiversity in their family and a newer diagnosis journey that has brought some changes to marriage and family dynamics. If you have heard Surviving to Thriving- Faye contributed to that course, and one son contributed to the Teens on the Spectrum. If you have heard me quote the D’s: Know the D’s
What is Diagnosis, Disorder, Difference vs Disrespect or Disobedience? This is from Faye.
Today we talk about changes in the Maloney marriage as Faye's Parkinson's will continue to progress and how these two are navigating these neurodivergences with grace and compassion to each other through education, equipping, and learning new effective strategies for their marriage.


About our guests:
Robert and Faye Maloney were raised in California, where they met and eventually married and established their family. With their move to North Carolina in 2001, they raised their two boys, one on the spectrum and one with ADHD. In 2018, Faye was diagnosed with Parkinson's, and they decided a move to Florida would be best for healthy, outdoor living.
Robert attained a Bachelor's and MBA in Finance and had a 27-year career with Bank of America. He retired in 2016 to pursue a new field of executive coaching. He is active in leading ministries, including, men's groups and experience teams at Next Level Church in Ft Myers, FL.
Faye attained a bachelor's degree in Business, and later a Master's Degree in Gerontology. Early on, she held corporate positions in telecommunications, and spent the majority of her career in staff positions at her church, homeschooling her two boys, along with being a Real Estate Broker. Faye actively mentors women in her church, and leads small groups, as the current group focused on discovering the author within those who have a passion to write.
