    Episode 7 - The Imperfection Connection with Gina (Terrasi) Gallagher + Patricia Terrasi

    In an Instagram-perfect social media culture, these two sisters and authors of the book Shut Up About Your Perfect Kid! have started a movement of imperfection. During this episode, they made me laugh and then they made me cry as we talked about celebrating kids’ resilience and success, about the inspiration and support we’ve found in the special needs community, and about the gifts and personal growth that come with imperfectly parenting our amazing and special children. + + + + + Lauren Bellon is a writer, speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and special needs mama.

    How can we maintain our own identity and creative outlets despite the intense demands of special needs parenting? And how the heck do we keep a marriage strong at the same time?

She shares the strategies she and her husband have used to create an amazing marriage, plus she offers some excellent advice about how families of kids with special needs can capture images ourselves and our children that honor all of our unique needs and differences. + + + + + Lauren Bellon is a writer, speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and special needs mama.
