Looking back, it’s wild to see just how much we change as special needs moms. That’s exactly what we’re talking about in this week’s episode of The Special Needs Mom Podcast. I sat down with Brittney Crabtree and Tash Dillman from the Moms Talk Autism podcast, and let’s just say—it was a conversation I did not want to end!
We covered a lot, from the emotional rollercoaster of diagnosis to the fine line between helping and “fixing” our kids (yikes, I’ve been there). And of course, we talked about grief—because it’s not just about loss, it’s about adapting to a life that looks different than we expected. But don’t worry, this episode isn’t all heavy! We also laughed about the chaos of parenting, the magic of finding your people, and why diversifying your friendship portfolio is basically the best life advice ever.
