When Autumn Comes: Seasons of Hope for Medical + Disability Moms24 Juli 2024

Jessica: Summer Book Club pt 4

In today's episode of Summer Reading with When Autumn Comes, Suz, Katrina, and Jessica discuss joy. We always discuss what gives us hope, but where is the joy in this life of medical complexity? Maybe moms of medically complex kids mope around in black and grey all day long. Maybe some do, but not these girls! The girls discuss how they create moment's of joy, finding it in the every day, and intentionally seeking it out. They discuss the importance of finding joy, not only for their children, but also for themselves. Stay tuned for helpful tips they have discovered over the years.

"We can create corners of beauty in the midst of the chaos." -Jessica

Here's what you don't want to miss:

Choosing to live in hope
Creating moments of joy
Skate parks
Finding joy for ourselves

Summer is a new season with stress and relaxation together at the same time. We hope you can find a moment to relax with a good book, or whatever gives you a moment of peace. We are so grateful for Jessica taking the time to share her story for our summer reading series. Are you reading along with us?
