Send us a text This episode is a rebroadcast of episode 87 that was originally aired May 2022. This episode I’m talking about what happens when our story gets disrupted. Likely, we all feel this way about diagnosis, a relationship ending or some other trauma in our lives. What narrative do you tell yourself in this special needs mom life when story you thought you were going to have gets disrupted. “I’m going to be tied down forever. “ “I can’t bring more children into this life.” “I won’t ever be happy again.” “I can’t do this.” “God must not be as good as I thought.” “This is not how it’s supposed to be.” When your story gets disrupted you shouldn’t feel like you just need to survive. You have the chance to rewrite your story and recognize that that was how it was supposed to be because it is. So I ask you, how do you want to know through this? Through being the key word.
