Shine a Light on Neurofibromatosis with Christa Castanon

May is NF Awareness Month, and in doing my part to “Shine a Light on NF,” I want to bring you a conversation I shared on the podcast this time last year with my sweet friend Christa Castanon. Christa and I both have children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 or NF1. In this episode, we chat about:

• The importance of finding a community and the ability to create your own.
• Supporting other moms with children of special needs.
• The fear, the struggles, and the beauty of parenting children with special needs.
• Finding self-care in times when your child and family are demanding your utmost attention.

This episode is not just for mamas with children of NF. It’s an episode for ALL mamas because even if you don’t have a special-needs child, chances are good you know someone who does. As I am re-releasing this episode, Christa and her daughter Cataleya (Cat) are going through a very challenging, scary, and unknown time. Cat’s midbrain tumor has grown, and she recently went through a brain biopsy procedure. Their family needs all of our support and consideration at this time. I only ask that you help by educating yourself for a few moments on this rare disease.
