For Our Special Kids

For Our Special Kids is simply that...For Our Special Kids.
When you realize you have a magic child on your hands, you do everything you can for them. So...I started a podcast to honor and highlight the magic and the mess of raising a child with special needs.

What I have learned over the past 6 years is profound.
1. My child is WAY smarter than me.
2. She has opened me up to the incredible world of intuition, psychic abilities, mediumship, healing, telepathy, galactic travel, the angel realms, spirit guides, and a whole lot more.
3. If we can learn to let go of expectations, the universe will blow your mind.
4. I wouldn't want to spend another day of my existence without her in my life.
5. I am a better person because she chose me as her mom.

So...while I originally intended to focus on providing tools and therapies and amazing stuff for parents/caregivers with a child with special needs...this has really morphed into a podcast for parents that are curious about new and innovative ways to better connect with their child. How can you use CranioSacral Therapy to be a better parent? How might crystals help soothe the energy within your home?How can your child's birth chart help you become a better home schooling parent?What is the best way to maneuver an IEP while celebrating the differences your magic child brings to the school?

So, thanks for joining me...it's gonna be a fun ride and I promise we'll make mistakes along the way. But hell...that's parenting for ya!!!
Smooches,Jen
