  • Relatable

    There are a few podcasts that I listen to specifically on my 8 hour round trips to my daughters doctor appointments that are pretty much weekly lately 🫠 And this is one of them! It makes me feel seen and I can relate to pretty much everything and really gives me a sense of belonging 🫶🏻

  • A place for us

    Being a family with a special needs child can feel very isolated. We live in a pretty rural area in Colorado and I’m thankful to have podcasts and technology to now be able to relate and listen to other families as well. We aren’t alone🩷

  • Things to say

    The episode on how to teach your kids to approach and talk to disabled people was excellent! It was educational for adults as well as kids. I passed it on to all my kids to listen to. Then this week, one of my daughters took her kids to a retirement home to visit and play games with the elderly there. While they were not disabled, many of the same principles applied! They did so great! I love that the podcast isn’t only for disabled parents but has great content for everyone!
