For Our Special Kids
Family
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

How Can Understanding Your Child's Human Design Help with Schooling and Discipline with Kaydee Desjarlais
4/22/2024
On Sept 4th, 2022, Kaydee introduced us to human design. And today, she provides a lot of details as to how the body graph from human design can give us insight on how to handle strong emotions like frustration or how to speak with our children in a way that meets their needs. Kaydee gives a ton of examples for Teal but I’m hoping you can pull some nuggets of information about yourself and your child.

The episode today is a follow up to last week's emotional "dump" from me. I had a wonderful chat with Etienne Jambou and Tania Ginsberg-Jambou…who are wonderful friends of mine.

Raw Truths: How did a diagnosis change Jen's positive outlook on life and her manifesting power?
3/17/2024
In this extremely raw episode, Jen opens up about how her positive vibrational energy and hope has shifted since Teal's diagnosis; something she is very much ashamed to admit. Jen openly shares the raw truths about feelings no one likes to discuss and looks at the heaviness of guilt.
However, in the end, she shares two profound truths and provides you with a 4-minute guided meditation (if you choose to join her) that will help shift those heavy emotions back to a lighter, higher vibration.

"How can I SUPPORT my child in THIS moment?" with Andrea Pollack
2/6/2024
Andrea Pollacks’s main focus is on helping parents better parent their autistic child. But, the information she provided Jen on this week's episode had nothing to do with any diagnosis. Her insights on self-worth, measuring effort, self-regulation, and support vs. discipline were extremely valuable, easy to implement and tangible.
We're excited for you to walk away with some very real solutions for your parenting journey.

Disabled vs. Special Needs and SO MUCH MORE with author, Kelley Coleman
1/29/2024
In today’s episode, Jen and Kelley talk about topics we’ve never covered here at For Our Special Kids
Kelley Coleman gets Jen to talk about some not-always talked about concepts and issues. Using the words special needs vs. disabled is just one example.
They talk about ableism and why there is a negative stigma around this entire community. They get into staring and when our children are just being themselves in public and how easy it can be to openly address the behavior and not the disability.
Kelley is really good at using phrases that highlight the positives while not making excuses. She shares quite a few examples.
This is a really good conversation that stumps Jen on a few different levels.

A Father's Love Through Extremely Challenging Times with Lee Tonks
1/23/2024
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.
