"It's what we have to do. This is the fight, right now." Mom Jen tells the story of learning how to advocate for her gifted child - it's a powerful, super relatable conversation. If you've ever had to fight for services for your kid, this episode is for you!

In this episode, we talk about:

Life with her child: Gifted, with ASD, ADHD, and SPD
Being denied an IEP because her child was "smart" (after the school recommended he get tested!)
The mental health ripple effect of being denied services - feeling like a failure
How finding her people in Mothers Together helped her learn how to advocate for her kid
Recognizing that showing anger and frustration at meetings helped her get the IEP eventually
The importance of support for moms, and how it leads to empowerment
