About this listen
What happens when the unthinkable happens and you still have to pack a lunch, call Medicaid, and show up for dance class?
In this raw and emotional episode, Misty shares the full story behind her viral blog series Grief and Disability, weaving together personal loss, single parenting, and the reality of raising a child with Down syndrome and autism after the sudden death of her husband at age 45.
She tackles what grief really looks like when you’re a caregiver, why “hope isn’t a plan,” and how life insurance, Social Security, and (yes) Michigan ABLE accounts can be the difference between surviving and sinking.
If you’re a special needs parent, caregiver, widow, or just trying to get your life in order... you need to hear this.
💛 Real talk. Hard truth. A little humor. And a whole lot of heart.
