Embracing Vulnerability: Uniting Moms Through Shared Experiences.

from The UNspecial Podcast · host UNspecial LLC

Zach interviews Megan Vondrak, founder of the Unlonely Moms Club, about motherhood, loneliness, and caring for her son Miller, diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age three after symptoms on a Costa Rica trip led to a pediatrician visit and a week at Rady’s. Megan describes the relentless management of Dexcom and Omnipod data, alarm fatigue, fear of highs and dangerous lows, and how diabetes can distort a mom’s sense of worth. They discuss how loneliness differs from shame-based “bad mom” narratives, the danger of isolation, grieving a former life, and learning to accept imperfect support. Megan shares how community—especially tough-love friends—helped her rebuild, and how the Unlonely Moms Club hosts free monthly movement and creative events to remove barriers and help moms feel known and included.website: www.unspecialllc.com#specialed #podcast #unspecial #specialneedsjourney #specialneedskids👉 For more personal content, check us our on Instagram: / unspecialllc 👉 If you haven't yet, make sure you read Special Dayz, a book about Zack's special education journey: https://www.amazon.com/Special-Dayz-F...
