In this episode, I interview long-time friend Teale, who opens up and shares her story about her first pregnancy, the pain and grief she experienced on the journey of having her first child, and the beautiful path that has emerged since. As a mom of four, including one with special needs, we talk about what a typical day is like and the constant adaptation that's required when balancing a household.  

Listen in as Teale shares her story in a real and authentic way. You'll hear her talk about what she felt when hearing that her daughter was diagnosed with the rare Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome, the resilience she embodies, the day-to-day struggles that many moms deal with, and what brings her joy. 

DEDICATION :

This episode is dedicated to Teale's mom, Mary Lawson Rivers, who passed away earlier this month. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to send our condolences to Teale and her entire family as she grieves the loss of her mother. We wish her comfort during this difficult times, send our loving thoughts and prayers.

"A mother's love is always with her children. Losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know. But her goodness, her caring, and her wisdom live on-like a legacy of love that will always be with you. May that love surround you now and bring you peace." -Unknown
