We are honored to welcome the inspiring Kelley Coleman to our podcast. Kelley shared her deeply personal journey as a parent of a child with multiple disabilities and how she ended up writing her book, "Everything No One Tells You About Parenting." Her authenticity and wisdom shine through in this interview. We discuss the lack of information parents are provided on diagnosis and how there’s not one specific place a parent can go to find the info and support they need. We talked about the crucial aspects of caregiving in navigating the healthcare system, accessing financial support, and our need for self-care that might be unconventional.Ep. 162; March 19, 2024Key Moments:[7:03] Care plan for my dependent child brings victories[15:52] State disability definitions and benefits[26:12] Getting a second opinion is freeing[39:57] Balancing rewards and guilt of parenting challenges[44:05] Going home Googling things and cryingResources:https://www.kelleycoleman.com/https://www.kelleycoleman.com/bookshttps://www.instagram.com/hellokelleycoleman/https://www.facebook.com/kelley.coleman.56https://emilypfreeman.com/next-right-thing-book/ If you enjoyed the show:Have you purchased our new book, The Other Side of Special? Subscribe to our newsletter on the Take Heart WebsiteGet our free resource on finding Gratitude, Peace, and HopeReview and like us on Apple Podcasts Share us with others from wherever you listen to podcastsFollow us on Instagram @takeheartspecialmomsFind Amy at www.amyjbrown.com/  or on Instagram @amyjbrown_writerFind Carrie at www.carriemholt.com or on Instagram @carriemholtFind Sara at www.saraclime.com or on Instagram @saraclimeSupport the show
