Take a breath. Lift your head. Listen. Yes, there is work to be done to find meaning in the mess. There is a better way. Community is needed. Correction is expected. Courage is the soundtrack. Joy is our guide. Peace is our path. Love is the outcome. This is how we live. This is the place where broken pieces find a bold purpose.
Welcome to The Woodshed. This is a place where people find the promise in their pain, strength in their suffering and hope in the healing. I spoke with a friend I've known since the 80s, Carrie Cassell. Carrie leads an organization called Mosaic Connection that supports parents and caregivers with neurodivergent children. She also shared her difficult battle with addiction from an eating disorder. The decision was clear. Keep it all in the recording. Listen to Part 1 and 2 of Carrie's Story from the Woodshed now.
Carrie created Mosaic Connection for parents to collectively find a community to remove their isolation and shame. She also provides resources for their child to remove the confusion of what to do. Mosaic believes parents will become more whole by connecting with themself by acknowledging and working through what is stirring within.
