There's no shortage of information when you're raising a child with a disability. There's a shortage of trusted information you can actually use.
In this episode, Karen Mayer Cunningham talks with Lauren Hasz and Brodie Simmons about Uniquely You, a free magazine launching in North Houston that celebrates the disability community and connects families to real, vetted resources.
They get into what makes this different: it's free, it's opt-in, it comes in print and digital, and every cover celebrates an individual or family navigating disability, birth to 100+. Karen, Lauren, and Brodie talk about the resources families actually need, the businesses that serve this community in person and virtually, and why the adult and transition "capacity stories" we never hear are some of the most important ones to tell.
Whether you're a parent, an advocate, a provider, or a business owner who wants to reach and support this community, this conversation shows you where to start.
