Welcome back to the podcast. This week I am joined for a second time by Anne Fricke. Anne and I catch up on IEP meetings and the struggles our children are having comparing themselves to typical children. Most importantly, Anne shares about a brand new platform she's started called, Breathe: Bringing resources, education & advocacy to home everywhere!

Hello and welcome to the podcast. This week, I'm diving deeper into the topic of not being okay, despite people thinking you are. There are many layers to this and a lot of it is work we need to do within ourselves.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. This week we’re talking about the idea of restoration (rehabilitation) versus the recovery.  After we’ve been through some of the big struggles as special needs moms, we often wonder what’s next. How can we heal or recover from this?  Recovery suggests we can get back to how we were before.  Often this isn’t the case. We won’t ever be who we were. This episode explores this concept.
