In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Tina Nicholas, a dear friend for years about her journey raising a child with special needs. Her son is amazing and we discuss the love, the challenges, and the resilience it requires every single day. She shares honest insights into caregiving, navigating systems, and finding strength in community and family. Most importantly, we dive into the often-overlooked conversation of long-term planning: how to prepare financially, legally, and emotionally for your child's future as you grow older. This is an essential listen for any parent thinking about sustainable support, legacy planning, and creating peace of mind for the years ahead.

Tina navigates this journey with grit, grace and her vibrant, unique sense of humor while always remaining firmly focused on the present and doing the best job that she can. Enjoy! -G
