Being a caregiver can be tough and sometimes lonely. For caregiving moms, having a sense of community and connection is essential. Whether it's sharing tips on managing hectic schedules or simply lending an empathetic ear, having a supportive network of fellow moms can make all the difference in navigating the challenges of motherhood.
In this episode of Parenting Impossible, Annette Hines sits down with Jessica Patay, founder of We Are Brave Together. Inspired by her journey as a special needs mom, Jessica established the nonprofit in 2017 to create a safe, judgment-free space where caregiving moms can connect and support one another, addressing the exhaustion and isolation they often face. In this conversation, Jessica discusses the power of building supportive communities for those navigating the unique challenges of raising children with special needs, as explored in her anthology, Becoming Brave Together. Jessica reminds us that no mother should face their caregiving journey alone.
In this episode, you will hear:
How caregivers can prioritize their mental health effectively.
Why community is essential for supporting caregiving moms.
What makes building connections so vital in the world of caregiving.
How advocacy for caregivers and raising awareness about their struggles help combat stigma.
