In this episode, I sit down with Kelley Coleman, a former feature film development executive turned author and advocate for parent caregivers and individuals with disabilities. Kelley opens up about her personal journey of over a decade raising a child with multiple disabilities, and how it led her to write her book, Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Support.With a heart full of passion, Kelley emphasizes the need for understanding, not pity, and challenges the idea that everyone’s opinion is necessary. We dive into the realities of navigating life as a parent of a child with disabilities, the crucial resources that many parents don’t know about, and how she’s helping new mamas find their way with confidence and support. Statistically, 1 in 33 babies are born with birth defects, 1 in 6 children are diagnosed with developmental disabilities, and 1 in 4 adults has a disability. Kelley’s mission to equip families with the information they need is both practical and deeply inspiring. This conversation is full of wisdom, heart, and real talk about the journey of parenting through challenges.CONNECT WITH GUEST:WEBSITE: http://www.kelleycoleman.comINSTAGRAM HANDLE: @hellokelleycolemanCONNECT WITH HOST:Website: www.mamayouredoinggreat.comIG: @kendahlyanezWant to get connected with other mamas like you?Join the CommunityText the word WELCOME to 855.486.5757 or sign-up HERE to get a weekly encouragement text delivered straight to your phone!

For many mama's, the daily grind of their jobs can start to feel suffocating, as they long for a different, more fulfilling life.

Overcoming the urge to compare and judge ourselves as women and mama's requires a shift in perspective towards empathy and understanding. Recognizing that we don't know the struggles and challenges others are facing allows us to cultivate a supportive and compassionate environment. Each woman and mama is navigating her unique journey, filled with joys and difficulties, and extending a hand of support instead of judgment can create a community of empowerment and solidarity. Mama's we've got to remember that we are all going through something, and by offering empathy and support, we can build a community of kindness and strength.CONNECT WITH HOST:Website: www.mamayouredoinggreat.comIG: @kendahlyanezWant to get connected with other mamas like you?Join the CommunityText the word WELCOME to 855.486.5757 or sign-up HERE to get a weekly encouragement text delivered straight to your phone!
