Hey peeps, this week I am so excited to sit down and chat with Amanda, not only is she a member of this RARE. herd but she is also a therapist.
Meet Amanda:
I'm a mom to a 12-year old with Prader-Willi Syndrome as well as a licensed marriage and family therapist.
My son got his diagnosis when he was 7 weeks old. It turned my life upside down and I quickly learned that there wasn't much space for the "hard" feelings related to parenting a child with a disability. It's become a bit of a life mission to give parents space to talk about the hardship, while also recognizing that they love their child so much. Pain and love and exist at the same time!
