Finding Purpose Through Parenting Invisible Differences with Kari Baker
In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Kari A. Baker, an inspiring mom, author, and advocate for families navigating life with invisible neurological differences. Kari shares her journey of becoming a "KIND mom" after her son Brady was diagnosed with autism at age three. Together, we dive into topics like letting go of the "fixing" mindset, embracing the unexpected joys of parenting, and finding hope and purpose in life’s challenges.
Kari talks about the evolution of her life—transitioning from a career in financial services to founding KIND Families, a supportive community for families like hers.
