“If you could go back and give your younger self advice about the holidays, what would you say? Do less? Ask for help? Let go of the tradition that leaves everyone exhausted?

Join us for a warm, honest fireside chat with three moms of children with disabilities who have learned through trial, error, and plenty of changed plans. They’ll share the expectations they tried to meet, the mistakes they made, and the moments that helped them rethink what a meaningful holiday could look like.

Together, we’ll talk about adapting traditions, communicating with family and friends, setting boundaries, and making room for children’s needs without forgetting our own. These moms will also reflect on how they discovered joy for themselves—not just as the people making the holidays happen for everyone else.

You don’t need a perfect plan to join this conversation. Come as you are and leave with practical ideas, reassurance, and encouragement to create a holiday season that includes your happiness, too.”

“By the end of this webinar, families will:

  1. Hear honest stories from three moms of children with disabilities about holiday challenges, mistakes, and what they wish they had known earlier.
  2. Identify practical ways to adjust traditions, set expectations, and make holiday plans that support their child’s needs and their own well-being.
  3. Build confidence in letting go of pressure, setting boundaries, and making room for their own joy during the holidays.”
