I love Kara’s energy. In her own podcast, she locks arms with other special needs moms, sharing her own story of raising a child with multiple brain tumors. Kara is raw and vulnerable about her journey and I loved chatting with her in this week’s episode of Fuel Your Purpose. We talk about redefining the “recovery” phase as a mom of a medically complex child to the “restoration” phase. Kara shares how to find the right self-care, and how that’s different from self-comfort. And as a contributor to The Gratitude Journal, she talks about the misconceptions of being grateful for a special needs journey.
Hit play and hear our whole conversation!
