What does daily life really look like when you’re raising a child with special needs?

In this deeply honest episode of The Marvellous-U Podcast, I sit down with an entrepreneur, author, advocate for children with special needs, and local Councillor & Deputy Mayor who shares her powerful journey through motherhood, grief, and resilience.

She opens up about:

• Raising a child born prematurely with autism traits
• Navigating a recent epilepsy diagnosis
• Creating routines that bring stability
• Managing meltdowns with compassion
• The emotional weight of special needs parenting
• Losing a child and choosing adoption after grief
• Turning personal pain into public advocacy and leadership

This conversation is raw, reflective, and filled with hope.
