The Crushing Weight of Responsibility

Send us a text (Note: we are not able to respond but LOVE to hear from you!!)

This replay from the archives is just as relevant now as it was in 2022. If you’ve ever felt the crushing weight of being the one who holds everything together for your child with disabilities, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I share listener reflections on what feels heaviest—like being the only one who knows every detail, the fear of forgetting meds, or never fully relaxing. I also offer a powerful visual: dragging a massive crate filled with your daily responsibilities, inch by inch.

It’s an invitation to pause, acknowledge your experience, and maybe—just maybe—set down the weight for a moment.
