STORY: Exploring Shame in Caregiving with Jennifer Iannuzzi - Episode 213
Hello Brave Friends! Welcome to today's story episode, #213. These are true stories from a moment in the life of a caregiving parent. We hear a crafted story, and then have a conversation with our guests that goes deeper into their experience.
In this episode of the Brave Together Parenting Podcast, host Jessica Patay welcomes Jennifer Iannuzzi, LCSW, a mother and Connection Circle leader, to discuss the challenges and triumphs of parenting a child with unique needs. Jennifer shares her personal journey, including her daughter's diagnosis of Smith-Magenis syndrome, and the impact it has had on her family. The conversation delves into the feelings of shame and guilt that caregivers often experience, the importance of support and validation, and how to transform shame into empowerment.
