Have you ever felt SO overwhelmed, exhausted and burned out by all of the challenges you're facing that you end up on the floor of your bathroom just sobbing?
Ever told your friends and family that you're "fine" when you're totally not?
Ever feel really resentful of other women, couples and families who have it so easy? They get pregnant easily, they have easy pregnancies, they have healthy, full term kids with no long term problems?
I know I have and so has this week's guest who shares an incredibly powerful story of a surprise NICU stay, being shocked to be thrown into the world of special-needs parenting, and having to navigate pediatric cancer on top of all of that.
There is no fluff, no platititudes and no Hallmark advice. This is a real, raw conversation about what happens when you start to feel like a human punching back to life's blows.
