Episode Four

In this episode Theresa talks about the different types of fear we feel. The first is the type of fear we experience when we or a loved one are in danger. Parents living with children with special needs can experience fear a lot, due to medical, emotional or educational issues that lead to stress and worry. This constant state of fear can be harmful so Theresa talks about some strategies to help mitigate those fears. The second type of fear is the fear we feel when we experience something overwhelming and big, like a new job or a new opportunity. This fear can make us hesitant to step into the greatness and possibility in front of us. Theresa talks about how to recognize those fears that show up and hold us back from moving into our callings and realizing what we are meant to do. Finally, there's a review of Pearl S. Buck's book, The Child Who Never Grew, an autobiography of the famed writer's daughter who lived with developmental disabilities in the early-to-mid 20th century. A beautifully written story, we are reminded of how far we've come in providing services to people with disabilities and helping them realize their great potential.
