“When caregivers say they’re fine, they’re not telling the truth.” Jolene Jess sits down in this episode and chats with Jolene Philo, the parent and daughter of loved ones with special needs and disabilities. Jolene is a former educator who created inclusive classrooms for all learners for 25 years. She’s also the author of several books about caregiving, special needs parenting, and childhood PTSD, including Sharing Love Abundantly with Special Needs Families: The 5 Love Languages® for Parents Raising Children with Disabilities, which she co-authored with Dr. Gary Chapman. Her award winning blog, www.DifferentDream.com, provides encouragement and resources for caregiving families. Jolene and her husband live in central Iowa. #caregiver #specialneeds  To purchase my book Sunlight Burning at Midnight https://amzn.to/37oRyop To stay connected with Jess head to www.jessplusthemess.com.
