When you first discover you'll be parenting a child with disabilities, the road ahead can seem daunting and lonely. Kris Burbank and Linda Hoopes join me to shed light on this path, offering wisdom from their book "Embracing Another Normal." Together, we unpack the resilience necessary for such a journey, sharing personal stories and strategies that resonate not just with parents, but anyone facing adversity.
The podcast unfolds the reality of raising children with unique needs, unwrapping the complexities like the layers of an onion. We discuss the importance of fostering connections and nurturing positivity, even when the isolation feels profound and the challenges insurmountable. Our conversation is filled with genuine experiences and practical advice, aiming to build a lifeline of resilience for families navigating these waters.
Finally, we tackle the notion of strategic decision-making and energy management, with Kris and Linda presenting their framework for resilience that can be applied across life's challenging terrains. Listeners will come away with a sense of empowered grace, learning that it's not about avoiding obstacles, but rather, reframing them into opportunities for growth. Join us for a heartfelt exchange that celebrates the strength found in vulnerability and the triumph of the human spirit in the face of life's unexpected turns on a special hiatus episode of Navigating Life as we Know it!
