Family Rifts and Disability: When Love Gets Complicated

Disability doesn't just affect one person—it impacts the entire family. In this episode, we explore family rifts, strained relationships, and the difficult reality of relatives taking sides, pulling away, or disagreeing about caregiving, support, and decision-making. Join us for an honest conversation about protecting relationships while navigating the unique challenges disability can bring to family dynamics. 

Sexuality Education

Join guest speaker Mary Shehan, Community Inclusion Coordinator with the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council, for a conversation about sexuality education for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Together, we’ll discuss healthy relationships, boundaries, consent, and why disability and sexuality are natural parts of the human experience.

Transition to Adulthood

In this episode, we talk about the transition to adulthood for young people with disabilities — what families should expect, how to prepare early, and why community becomes more important than ever during this stage. Adulthood is not a single moment but a long transition, and no family should navigate it alone.

Breaking Good

Trauma is trauma. In this episode, we speak with author Nikki Mammano about her trauma, the maladaptive behaviors that followed, and her journey back to health, which she shares in her book Breaking Good. We also talk about how trauma, disability, and caregiving often intersect, and why self-care and community are not luxuries but necessities for people carrying heavy responsibilities. 

Staying Connected After Out of Home Placement

When a family chooses an out-of-home placement, the need for connection doesn’t disappear. Parents, siblings, and extended family still want to stay meaningfully involved in the life of the child or adult with a disability who no longer lives at home. In this episode, we talk about ways to stay connected across distance, along with practical strategies and tools that can help families maintain strong, supportive relationships.
