Episode 127: A Stronger Mommy | Chantelle Turner

Chantelle Turner, founder of the Stronger Mommy movement,  met her husband working backstage on The Lion King. A few years later, they had a special needs baby she never knew she dreamt of. Now she’s on a mission to share her story, and the best resources in the world  with other special needs moms.

About Chantelle Turner:

I am a mom to a very "special" 4 year old. She is my whole world, probably like most moms with their kids. My husband travels about 80% of the year so a lot of the time, I'm on my own with her.I work from home, helping other parents like me who also have "special" children & that also gives me the flexibility to be home with our little girl. I LOVE taking care of her (which includes getting her to a lot of Dr. appointments, therapy appointments, and fighting all the time to make sure she gets the care she needs) and about 3 years ago, I also started a Network Marketing business to add an extra income to our home that would help with her medical bills, but I started Stronger Mommy to help other moms (parents) who are dealing with the challenges that come with having a child with special needs. We all need some friendly support, advice and encouragement from time to time!
