Imagine the quiet strength it takes to navigate the world of special needs parenting. That's what we unpack here on Caregiving Unboxed, with your co-hosts, Shari Bailey and Michael Nash. We take you through the roller coaster of emotions and experiences that come with raising our daughter Laila, who has Jacobsen syndrome. We're peeling back the curtain on the delicate dance of responding to misunderstandings and embracing the unexpected twists and turns of caregiving. It's a candid look at the resilience required to handle the unpredictable, and you're invited to join us on this deeply personal journey.
Through authentic stories and heartfelt discussions, we touch on the overlooked roles that caregivers assume every day. Our talk is not just about our own path with Laila, but it's also a call to arms for empathy and support within our communities. When it comes to dealing with public meltdowns or turning down invitations, we need allies who respond with open hearts, not judgment. This conversation is a powerful reminder of the value of community in the lives of families with special needs. Listen in for an episode that promises to not only enlighten but also inspire a more empathetic approach to the caregiving experience.
Caregiving Unboxed is brought to you by Laila's Gift, a nonprofit that advocates for, supports, and celebrates children with special needs and disabilities, and their families. To learn more visit LailasGift.org
