Episode 192: Finding Strength in Unexpected Life Challenges - with Kara Ryska

from Empowered in Health · host Erin Trier

In this powerful episode, I sit down with life coach and special needs mom, Kara Ryska, for a raw, real and uplifting conversation about navigating unexpected life changes, resilience and redefining identity.Kara opens up about her son’s brain cancer diagnosis, the challenges of parenting a child with special needs and the deep transformation that came from stepping into coaching and personal development. Together we explore:🔹 How to cope when life looks nothing like you imagined.🔹 The mental and emotional toll of being a special needs parent.🔹 Why coaching and therapy can be life-changing tools.🔹 The importance of support systems and why we don’t have to do it alone.🔹 Shifting from “survival mode” to creating a life you love again.🔹 Breaking free from cultural narratives and giving yourself permission to receive help.Whether you’re a mom, a caregiver or someone on a personal growth journey, this conversation will remind you that there is hope, healing and joy to be found - even in hard seasons!Full episode on YOUTUBE here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ3ah76IExETo connect more with Kara:Waitlist for the "Pathway to Peace" Coaching Community: https://kara-ryska-coaching.kit.com/cc36a1c4ddWebsite: https://www.kararyska.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespecialneedsmompodcast/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-special-needs-mom-podcast/id1523926612If this episode resonates with you, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.
