Episode 36: The Open Heart of a Special Needs Mom, Mom of 4, Kicking Off The School Year

On this week's episode of The Momlife Mindset podcast, I share my open heart as a Mom of 4, special needs mom, some of my biggest fears and the things we're working to focus on at our house as we kick off a new school year. My oldest kiddos are headed into 3rd and 5th grade. I can't pinpoint what it is - but somehow, there are lots of things that feel more "out of my control" and it's making me feel extra anxious and overwhelmed. As I continue to take things one day at a time and truly unpack where my unrest is coming from, I want to encourage you to know that the reality of up and down emotion is REAL when we get back into the swing of things with school, schedules, routines and more. We have a lot of needs in our house. Neurodiversity included. While using the term "special needs" feels like one of the fastest and easiest ways to directly connect to other families - I am determined to be a change agent around changing the narrative. In my heart of hearts and the way I see the world - we all have needs. They're all different. They're all unique. They all vary based on who we are and how we were uniquely made. I have SO much more work to do. For myself. For my family. For my son. For my community. And as I continue to get educated and find ways to be a voice and make an impact, I will keep sharing. Because I have faith that our family's story will resonate somewhere with someone. And I know God laid this message and this mission on my heart for a reason. The mission of overall health and wellness - from the inside out - for all. I would be honored if you shared this episode with others in your network. I'd also love to hear from you too and connect further on our stories.
