Motherhood is often described as a challenging endeavor, yet the complexities are further heightened for mothers of children with special needs. Imagine the daunting task of raising not just one, but two special needs children - and as a single parent.  In this episode, Karinna Hogan graciously invites listeners to embark on her journey, navigating the intricate emotional and practical hurdles presented by this reality.  With each of her daughters bearing two distinct special needs diagnoses - one grappling with a rare genetic disorder and the other with autism - Karinna vulnerably delves into tumultuous emotions after each consecutive diagnosis including shock, denial, anger and sadness. She also shares the transformative process that helped her through it.  One of accepting and embracing a new normal, their normal. 

Discover how Karinna found strength and support in connecting with another mom who understood her journey, inspiring her to help other women facing similar challenges. Through her own self-love, growth, and lessons learned, Karinna has transformed her experiences into a coaching business offering workshops and tailored programs to assist special needs moms in navigating the unique challenges of raising children with rare diseases or disabilities.

Tune in to explore Karinna's story of resilience, hope, and empowerment, and learn how she is making a difference in the lives of mothers who need support on this challenging journey.  As with all SAYges, Karinna has an open door to outreach and would love to chat with any moms out there who are interested in asking her questions, venting or just having a chat with someone who understands.  If you’d like to connect with Karinna, email [email protected]!
