Lori Howard: A Clubfoot Mom and Therapist
Lori Howard is not only a clubfoot mom and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist but she is the mother of the incomparable, and previous guest, Chloe Howard. If you listened to Chole's episode, you know that I just had to meet the mom behind this amazing clubfoot advocate and speaker. Lori and I discuss the grief and loss parents can feel when hearing a diagnosis that changes the expectations of having an "idealized child". Lori also dives into the impact having a child with special needs can have on the family unit and gives up some advice on how to manage our needs as parents. This episode is full of insightful information that really goes deep into the emotional impacts of being a medical caregiver and a parent simultaneously. A big thank you to Lori for sharing her story and expertise with us!
