There are moments in this life that simply break your heart. In this episode, Kara shares a recent experience that brought her face-to-face with the quiet, painful reality many disabled children live with and the emotional weight mothers carry alongside them.
From there, she walks through what she calls the evolution of a special needs mom: the stages many women move through as they adapt to diagnoses, self-sacrifice, isolation, and eventually, restoration. It is not a straight line, and it is not a neat process, but it is deeply human.
Kara also shares why being surrounded by other mothers on the same path makes such a powerful difference. This life is hard, but it is even harder when you are carrying it alone.
If you have ever wondered where you are in your journey, or why you feel the way you do, this conversation may help you name your experience and consider what support could look like for you.
