116. We're All In The Same Boat—Different Cabins, But The Same Ship
from aVERY BRIGHT LIFE · host Lisa Thornbury
Ever feel like there’s a quiet divide in the disability community, where some parents compare challenges or judge what they don’t fully understand? Yeah, me too. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about how that kind of thinking only hurts all of us. Whether your child has physical, intellectual, medical, or invisible disabilities, we’re all navigating hard stuff. Let’s stop measuring who has it “worse” and start lifting each other up. Some argue that we're not in same boat (due to our different challenges) but I say we ARE! Same boat, but just different cabins. So let's cruise baby! And be sure to listen for Avery's "Sunny Spot" moment this week. It's a good one!* Facebook Page mentioned in this episode: It's A Mary Little Life ***This podcast was recorded in Garage Band and edited by Lisa Thornbury (with assistance from Avery).Read more and find the transcript for this episode at averybrightlife.com.And, come chat with us on social!
