I am a special needs mom of an adult son with cerebral palsy, cognitive and intellectual delay and big sister to an autistic adult brother who’s non-verbal.

My podcast is a transparent look into my life as a special needs mom/guardian in PG County, MD. I share my highs, my lows and everything in between.

I don’t pre-write or pre-plan my shows. That’s the beauty and what makes my show intimate. I pour my heart out and reveal the ugly parts of my journey that most are afraid to admit or share. I come up with the names of my shows after I’ve bared my soul.
