This week’s episode is honest, vulnerable, raw, tearful, extremely challenging, brave, heart breaking, and also hopeful.

This is Lee Tonk’s 1st time telling his story. He is a private person and for most of Remy’s life he traveled this journey of parenting a child with a disability in silence and alone. And, it is emotional. We both cry. We laugh a little too.

But, a lot of what Lee shares is brutally honest. At times, I cringed at his experiences and my heart felt the tug of sorrow and grief. 

This episode might be really hard for some of you to listen to but I really encourage you to take the time needed to hear Lee, understand his journey, and know that if you’re going through a similar situation, there is hope. As Lee says towards the end of our discussion, I’d give it all up to have her back.” 

Thank you for listening. I hope you know you aren’t alone. Please let me know if this episode helped you feel a little more connected to our community of parents and children.

We love to hear from you. Send emails to [email protected] if you have questions, topics, or an amazing person we should highlight. And, please tell a friend or caregiver about us!

For Our Special Kids

For Our Special Kids is simply that...For Our Special Kids. When you realize you have a magic child on your hands, you do everything you can for them. So...I started a podcast to honor and highlight the magic and the mess of raising a child with special needs. What I have learned over the past 6 years is profound.1. My child is WAY smarter than me.2. She has opened me up to the incredible world of intuition, psychic abilities, mediumship, healing, telepathy, galactic travel, the angel realms, spirit guides, and a whole lot more.3. If we can learn to let go of expectations, the universe will blow your mind.4. I wouldn't want to spend another day of my existence without her in my life. 5. I am a better person because she chose me as her mom. So...while I originally intended to focus on providing tools and therapies and amazing stuff for parents/caregivers with a child with special needs...this has really morphed into a podcast for parents that are curious about new and innovative ways to better connect with their child. How can you use CranioSacral Therapy to be a better parent? How might crystals help soothe the energy within your home?How can your child's birth chart help you become a better home schooling parent?What is the best way to maneuver an IEP while celebrating the differences your magic child brings to the school?So, thanks for joining me...it's gonna be a fun ride and I promise we'll make mistakes along the way. But hell...that's parenting for ya!!!Smooches,Jen
