126 // Surviving And Thriving with a Special Needs Child, with Stacey Mealy (Part 2)

Have you ever wondered how special needs families cope with burnout, overwhelm, self care, finances, emotional processing, marriage struggles, raising the siblings, finding work life balance, or even just attaining peace and happiness? Today Stacey and I finish up our conversation about what this life is like, and we try to demystify the struggles and the joys for you, and bring encouragement and hope to others in our shoes. This episode will give insight into how you can help a family in your community who may be very challenged with their own special needs child, and help you know how to reach out with a listening ear or other support. I hope you will enjoy the conclusion of this heartfelt conversation between two moms who are doing the very best they can under extreme circumstances.
