Thank you so much for sharing your stories. There is so much I think anyone can take away from listening to your podcast. I have a child with special needs and community is everything. So thank you for contributing to mine.
Chandra, you give me chills, tears, courage, and so so so much more. I'm at the beginning of our journey, and diagnoses are pouring in now that stable health care is active in our lives for the first time ever! My teens and I have no idea what were in for but you inspire me to face it with my eyes wide open. Thank you for sharing your heart. 💟🐍
Chandra has a way of speaking about her experience as a mom of a son with special needs that is very relatable. She’s raw, she’s genuine and she expresses the beauty and vulnerability of her journey with incredible grace. Each episode will leave you fulfilled yet wanting more.
As a mom of a 20 year old visually impaired daughter with Cerebral Palsy, this pod cast blesses my soul. So much of Chandra’s journey, I have shared. I hope others in our “Club” can find this pod cast and feel encouraged and supported too. Thank you Chandra for sharing your stories and wise words.
Chandra fills a void in this world—advocacy and sharing struggles are one way social media can connect others, but so rarely do you hear a first-person perspective that is honest and offers guidance and comfort.
