This episode is about the unexpected twists and turns that make this journey extra hard. When you get into a groove, with any kind of lifestyle, even our especially complex kind, it can feel manageable. Then, SURPRISE, you’re dealt another difficult hand of medical cards. How do we keep going when our child’s health and our life’s trajectory experience another brutal setback?

On this episode, host Jessica Patay interviews our story teller, Kara Ryska, whose son had a cancer resurgence after ten years of clean scans. The weight of emotion that came with that plot twist left Kara no choice but to take a break from being the “good soldier” and befriend her unlikely new companion, sadness. 

Outside of family, life coaching is Kara Ryska’s next favorite thing and Moms of kids with special needs are her sweet spot. A life coach and host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast she is passionate about empowering moms to take back control of their lives.
