I Don't Know How You Do It

Redefining Hope: A Mother, Her Son, and The Chicken Who Saved Them, with Kristin Jarvis Adams


Listen Later

In this extraordinary episode of "I Don't Know How You Do It," we dive into the story of Kristin Jarvis Adams, which is both utterly unique and also relatable in so many ways. Kristin shares the story of her son Andrew's battle with a rare genetic condition and how an unexpected ally - a chicken named Frightful - became the key to his survival and healing. This tale of resilience, unconventional communication, and unwavering hope will challenge your perspective on what's possible in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

You'll learn how to:

  • Find joy in small moments, even during the darkest times
  • Be vulnerable and honest about your struggles to open doors for support
  • Allow your faith and spirituality to evolve during times of crisis
  • Support others in ways that really matter
  • Cultivate at least one reliable support person - your "3am peep"
  • Actively seek hope, even in the most unexpected places
  • Recognize that traditional communication isn't the only path to understanding
  • Embrace the idea that 'normal' may need to be redefined in times of crisis
  • Trust your instincts as a caregiver, even when they seem unconventional
