Caring Conversations features the voices of those who care. We share stories, perspectives, and insights about the caregiving experience. In our current season, we’re following the journeys of those raising children with disabilities and complex needs, from childhood to adulthood. Your host Brenda Blais Nesbitt has navigated this road for over 28 years raising her daughter, Nikki who is severely disabled and medically complex. Brenda is an expert in caregiving and is very passionate about sharing the wisdom she has gained on her journey with her daughter.
