44// You're Not Crazy, Mama: Trusting Your Gut (and God) When Providers Won't Listen

Are you drowning in research about your child's needs but still don't know where to start? Do providers keep dismissing your concerns when your mama gut is screaming that something's wrong?In this episode, I'm taking you back to one of the hardest seasons of my life—when my son wasn't sleeping through the night at 18 months old, and every provider told me to just get him a clock. I knew something was wrong. I knew he was stopping breathing at night. But no one would listen.After months of dead-end appointments and countless dollars spent, I finally found the answer: an airway-specializing dentist who confirmed everything I'd been saying—enlarged adenoids, tongue tie, and airway issues.Today, I'm sharing what that year taught me about trusting your gut, collecting data, and finding God's voice in the chaos. Plus, I'm giving you two simple reflection exercises to help you see patterns in your child's struggles and move forward with clarity instead of overwhelm.If you're stuck wondering "what do I do next?" this episode will meet you right where you are.Exciting news: I'm reopening my Special Needs Strategy Session coaching with exclusive New Year offers!
