Holiday Mini 5: The New Year for Disability Parents

The Rare Life

For disability parents, the New Year doesn’t always mean lofty resolutions or big changes. It might mean survival mode, holding boundaries, or simply getting through the day.

In this episode, I’m sharing your thoughts on New Year’s resolutions—why they’re hard, how they shift, and what really matters when life is unpredictable. From survival mode to tentative hope, this is a conversation about giving yourself grace.

If the traditional “new year, new me” doesn’t fit your life, this one’s for you.
