About this listen

Find Hope, Joy, and Community as a Special Needs Mom

For the special needs mom who yearns for community and support on what can be a lonely road, The Other Side of Special reminds you that you are not alone, your best is good enough, and even on the hard days, there are blessings to be had.

As you pour your energy and resources into raising a special child, it's easy to struggle with feelings of isolation, competition, guilt, and overwhelm. Here's the encouragement and practical help to navigate the emotional reality of your situation.

In The Other Side of Special, three mothers raising children with physical, medical, mental, and emotional special needs have joined forces and pooled their experience and expertise to provide such a resource. They take a deep dive into the most common emotions felt by special needs moms. They acknowledge the hard things as those who have been there. They celebrate the unique joys of being a special needs mom. And they offer encouragement for the journey, remaining realistic about the challenges special needs moms will continue to face.

So many practical suggestion, so relatable, no glossing over the hard but also not mired in misery

This book has brought me so many gems - one in particular really changed my focus and attitude (I listened over a period of months so have had time to implement).
Where the ladies write that it’s not about the route, journey or destination but about our Companion through all of those… wow to lean into that has been joy and relief.
Highly recommend this book to special needs parents and also for friends who want to understand more what it’s like to be a special needs parent.
