She wasn’t responding to her name, and that changed everything with Crizli Martins

Hi everyone, What would you do if two of your children needed more support than the system was designed to offer? In this week’s episode of Wine with Wita, I sit down with Crizli Martins, a mother of four, two of whom have additional needs. What began as early signs with her son Frank evolved into years of advocacy, therapy, learning, and eventually, doing it all over again with her youngest daughter, Erica.In this episode we explore:💡 The early red flags Crizli noticed and how she trusted her instincts 🧠 What it’s like navigating two completely different neurodivergent profiles 💬 The reality of therapy - expectations vs. real life ❤️ Faith, family, guilt, and the juggle that comes with it all 🙏 The first word Erica ever spoke… and why it brought Crizli to tears.Crizli doesn’t sugar-coat the hard stuff, but she also brings the kind of optimism, humour and heart that will stay with you long after the episode ends. This one is for every parent doing their best, trusting their gut, and advocating fiercely for their kids, even when the system is slow to catch up.Lots of love, RitaP.S.
