When someone we love has a child with intellectual or physical disabilities, we want to be there for them—but sometimes, we’re unsure how. What should we say? What if we say the wrong thing? How can we genuinely show up in ways that matter?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Katie Blackburn, a mom of children with disabilities, who’s here to share practical, heartfelt ways to support families in the disability community, including:

💛 Thoughtful scripts to help your neurotypical kids understand and respond supportively when they see a neurodivergent child struggling.

💛 How to move past the fear of "saying the wrong thing" and connect with the disability community with confidence and care.

💛 Simple, consistent gestures that can help you foster meaningful connections with children with disabilities - and their families!

If you've ever wanted to support a friend, family member, or even a stranger navigating this journey—but weren't sure where to start—this conversation is for you. Thank you for being part of this community of women who uplift each other. We truly are better together.
