Sarah Trott joins Brenda for the final episode of the season to help reflect on the lessons our incredible guests have shared with us. Brenda takes us on one final journey of what infancy to adulthood is like for those caring for children with disabilities and complex needs. Caregiving for children can be some of the lengthiest caregiving journeys out there and these caregivers protect, advocate, teach, embrace and celebrate like no other! Heartfelt thanks go out to all of our guests for being so open and sharing their stories with us this season. A special thank you to all of our listeners as well. We greatly appreciate all your likes, ratings and shares!
