Welcome to today’s episode, where we dive into the inspiring journey of Candyce, a devoted mother of two incredible children. Candyce's life took a significant turn when her child was diagnosed with autism and ADHD. With another child also facing ADHD, she recognized the unique challenges her family would encounter.

Before embracing her role as a full-time caregiver, Candyce was a successful business consultant, known for her ability to help organizations streamline their operations and enhance productivity. However, when her first child received their diagnosis, Candyce made the brave decision to pivot her career. She stepped away from the corporate world to focus entirely on her family's needs, becoming an unwavering advocate for her children.

In addition to her parenting journey, Candyce also manages her own health challenges, living with Crohn's disease. This condition adds another layer to her daily life, shaping her approach to caregiving and advocacy. Despite these obstacles, Candyce has shown remarkable resilience and determination.

Throughout her journey, she has transformed her professional skills into essential tools for navigating the complex landscape of special needs. From researching therapies to coordinating appointments and managing her children's schedules, Candyce is deeply committed to supporting their development.

As she embarked on this new chapter, Candyce discovered a passion for community-building. She actively connects with other families facing similar challenges, sharing invaluable insights, resources, and encouragement. Her experiences have taught her the importance of patience, flexibility, and unconditional love—lessons she now imparts to others navigating similar paths.

In this episode, we’ll explore Candyce's incredible story of transformation, her advocacy work, and how she inspires hope and resilience in the face of life’s unexpected challenges. Join us as we celebrate her journey and learn how one mother’s love can lead to profound change, not only for her family but for others in the special needs community.
