This is such a special episode and we are so appreciative to Lauren for coming on and sharing her heartfelt story with us. We sat down with Lauren Flack, the inspiring founder of Channing's Joy. As a wife and mom of three, Lauren opens up about her journey following her firstborn's diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder. Since founding the Channing's Joy Foundation in 2022, Lauren has dedicated herself to raising awareness and providing support for families like hers. She shares candidly about the challenges and triumphs of navigating therapies and raising an autistic child in today's world. Lauren's raw and vulnerable recounting also addresses the misconceptions surrounding autism, emphasizing that while it may be different from what she initially expected, it is not something to be afraid of, but simply a different path of joy and growth.   Find Lauren on Instagram.
