In this raw and unfiltered episode of Conquering Your Clown Fish, host Brady Murray sits down with Laurie Hellmann—author, podcaster, and fierce advocate for families with special needs children. Laurie doesn’t sugarcoat her journey. From the relentless battles of single motherhood to the emotional toll of raising a son with profound nonverbal autism and Crohn’s disease, she shares the hard truths that most people are too afraid to talk about.
Is society failing special needs families? Why are parents forced to fight for even the most basic support? And what happens when children with disabilities grow up and age out of the system?
Laurie's story is one of love, resilience, and defiance—a challenge to the world to do better. This conversation will inspire you, push you out of your comfort zone, and leave you questioning how we treat the most vulnerable in our communities.
