When the weight of perfectionism feels like a lead cloak, it's the raw, honest stories that can lift it off our shoulders. That's exactly what Kristin Faith Evans brings to our table this week, as we navigate the deeply personal terrain of motherhood to children with special needs. Her voice, a blend of vulnerability and strength, breaks through the silence on the mental health crisis among special needs moms, illuminating the tough yet rewarding journey that lies ahead for many.

This episode is a tapestry woven with the threads of shared experiences, where the barriers of seeking help are pulled back, revealing a landscape that many special needs moms traverse in solitude. Together with Kristin, we peel back the layers of guilt that often accompany the pursuit of self-care, underscoring its non-negotiable place in our lives. As we discuss the stigmas within conservative Christian communities and the scarcity of resources, the conversation is an open door for every listener who has felt judged or alone in their struggles.

Kristin's insights serve as a compass, guiding us through the expectations and self-inflicted pressures that can overshadow the joys of parenting. We celebrate the power of positive self-talk and the gentle art of embracing imperfection. Whether you're a mom knee-deep in therapy schedules or a friend standing by in support, this episode is a sanctuary for reflection, growth, and unwavering support—a reminder that no one should walk this path without a hand to hold.
