053 - Navigating life changes and challenging times as a special needs mom (with Sandra Peoples)

Parenting children with special needs, learning disabilities, or mental health challenges can feel overwhelming at times.

Even in "normal times," we struggle to make the best decisions for their needs, we worry about how they will fit in with others, we are anxious about what the future will bring, and so much more. And then times of change or challenge hit - a move, a school change, a health issue, or even a pandemic - and the struggles and stress seem to bury us.

There is hope.

Our guest, Sandra Peoples, is one of the leading voices in the special-needs community. Sandra and her husband Lee have two sons—David and James. James has level 3 autism. They live outside of Houston, TX where Lee is a pastor and Sandra serves as their church’s special-needs ministry director. Sandra also has a sister with Down syndrome which gives her a life-long perspective on being in a special-needs family. Most of all, she is a longtime friend and contributor to the ministry here at Million Praying Moms!

In this episode, Sandra addresses some of the most common challenges facing special-needs moms when things turn upside-down and gives practical, Christ-centered tips for dealing with decision fatigue, change in or loss of routine, and more.

Find encouragement and inspiration in today's episode!
