Hey Friends~
Sometimes it is helpful to hear success stories! We know that raising kids is a marathon not a sprint, and that means that success stories occur millions of times while raising our kids. Sometimes- when challenges are significant, we need to dig even deeper to find wins along the way.
Today’s guest tells her story of raising a child with Cerebral Palsy. She learned to celebrate along the way, listen to the therapists, and follow the lead of her heart as well as listen to her son. In doing so, they found success! Non -verbal to verbal to even speaking on a podcast!
Remember parents, life is a journey. Always remember to celebrate! The little wins are important - and they add up! I know you will feel so encouraged and enlightened by this conversation. Grab a cup of coffee and relax if you are able.
CORRECTION!! In the show I said Marsh earned a PhD. I was wrong. She earned a DPT (Doctorate of Physical Therapy) Thank you, Marsh, for calling this mistake to my attention! And Readers, please join me in congratulating Marsh!
Always cheering you on!
