"Don't Overreach for the New Year"
Thursday Jan 07, 2021

Sometimes, we set ourselves up for failure by setting lofty, but unattainable goals for ourselves as caregivers. When we ambitiously set goals that may be unrealistic, we can often discourage ourselves when they are unmet. Goals are important, but they need to reflect the reality of our circumstances. Goals are important, but they need to reflect the reality of our circumstances. John and I discussed this and other items in this episode. We also added some fun things and ended with a bit on Galaxy Quest!

Kathie Lee Gifford called the show to discuss her new book, "It's Never Too Late." I felt this book would make a powerful and meaningful gift to fellow caregivers. While Kathie Lee remains a household name, Gracie and I have had the privilege of getting to know her a little more up close and personal. You'll hear this in our candid conversation about trusting God in heartache, forgiveness, and loneliness.
Yet, you will also hear a lot of laughter. But as Kathie Lee says about moments of great sorrow that often right turn into joy "...that's life!"

"You Can't Have A Zoom Class With Special Needs Kids"
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
I invited my cousin, Meredith, to call the show and share her family's struggle and journey with their special needs daughter and the inability to attend school.
"We see the chaos of the world, but more than anything ...we just see the four walls of our home. There's a lot of guilt. You feel guilty if you send them ...or you feel guilty if you keep them home. There's a lot of guilt as a caregiver."
As you will discover, however, Meredith is not only insightful and experienced as a caregiver, but she is extremely funny and a brilliant woman who designed a piece of adaptive equipment for her daughter's wheelchair to help in the COVID-19 world.
After listening to this interview ...please share it with EVERY special needs family you know. They will laugh, learn, and more importantly realize that their are NOT alone!
