Hi!
I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast.
Today I reflect on my visit with Heather Ash Burroughs and how to strengthen your marriage with the many challenges as a special needs parent.
As a bonus, I share a few of the lessons I've learned in my own marriage.
If you haven't listened to Part 1, 2 and 3, click here and hear how Heather advocated for her daughter, Devyn, and won her case with the US Dept of Justice. Heather and Homesteads for Hope help support, teach skills, and provide hope for those with special needs and for their families in collaboration with the community.

Today you will learn:
*The challenges in all marriages and in a marriage when you have a child with special needs.
*What are some of the compounding factors.
*The death of a dream for your child with special needs.
*Dealing with grief.
*Some prescriptions for problems that pop up in any marriage.
*I've also been blessed by these tips!

How have you overcome problems in your marriage?

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Our guest would love to hear your feedback too! If you'd like to support the podcast, please follow/subscribe to be alerted to upcoming episodes and also, leave a review.
Wishing you lots of love on your own hero’s journey,
xoxo, Karen
