A Mother's Love with Deborah Lapkin

Jen interviews her neighbor, Deborah Lapkin, in this week's episode. Deborah gave birth to Haley almost 40 years ago. They did not know at the time of her delivery that Haley has Osteogenesis Imperfecta or Brittle Bone Disease.

In this episode, Deborah discusses their journey as a family within a small community and how they both helped to transform much of how our school operates today. She gives us tips on what helped her get out from under the solitude and loneliness of parenting a child with special needs.

Jen gets honest about how she doesn't ask for help because sometimes she doesn't even know what she needs. Can you relate? She has some ideas for how those that support us on this journey can offer their own solutions to take help.

We celebrate love this week on our Valentine's episode.  We hope you enjoy. And, let us know what you think!
