In this episode, I give a glimpse of what it's like to raise a child with a disability. With written permission from the author, I also share the beautiful short story Welcome to Holland. I know what it's like to land in a place you never thought you would, but I wouldn't trade this journey for anything in the world. Enjoy!

Everyone has a story they find themselves sharing often in their lives. In this short first episode I briefly share mine. The Big Bang Theory, what my grandchildren call me, and my favorite photographer are all subjects I touch on today. (P.S. You can find her @laurenashleyphotographytx on Instagram.)
