Listen "When You Don’t Expect Good Things To Feel Bad"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a text (Note: we are not able to respond but LOVE to hear from you!!)Sometimes the “good” moments still catch us off guard—like when progress or positive change feels surprisingly heavy. In this episode, I share how a kitchen remodel gone wrong helped me notice something deeper: the emotional tension of expecting joy, but feeling stress instead.If you're a parent of a child with special needs, you probably know this feeling well—when even the wins come with grief, fear, or fatigue. I unpack five mindset shifts that have helped me stay grounded when emotions don’t match the moment.There’s a metaphor about manure. There’s a story about laughing in the middle of chaos. And there's space for you here, too.Episode Resources:The Glad GameWork Life Podcast by Adam GrantIf you are looking for more: Sign up for The Pathway to Peace Coaching Community Waitlist Get The Special Needs Mom Survival Pack free resource Connect with Kara, host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thespecialneedsmompodcast/Website: https://www.kararyska.com/
