In this episode, I sit down with Casey Mouton, a marriage and family therapist, to discuss the challenges and triumphs of parenting a child with special needs. Casey shares her personal journey through postpartum depression and anxiety, the shock of her son's stroke diagnosis, and navigating life as a special needs parent. We talk about the mental load of caring for a child with disabilities, the importance of community support, and the process of recognizing and addressing ableism in society. Casey also highlights the current political climate surrounding disability rights and offers practical advice for advocacy and support.

Key Takeaway / Points:

  • Casey's experience with postpartum depression and anxiety
  • The unexpected stroke diagnosis of her 10 month old son and its impact on Casey's family
