    We are back! I apologize for such a long absence. Life came in fast and furious over the last several months. On this episode I wanted to update you all on the current medical situation we have been working through for Blakely. It’s something we thought we had closed the chapter on but have found ourselves back in the thick of it.

    Episode 6: Surprise Doses Of Reality

    This is a deep episode. I wasn’t sure where the words would take me. You will learn about the adapted vehicle and how it produced another opportunity to adapt to life’s challenges as a special needs parent. Sometimes things come across your life in ways you don’t expect, at times you don’t expect. This was one of those times for me. I encourage you to embrace your feelings, work through challenges, and find grounding methods. I talk about the value of resilience and staying true to oneself despite hardships.
