Jackie Buzek, rare disease mom, doctorate-level BCBA, and executive director of the Rise School Of Denver wrote a piece for the Mighty about her follow up on Welcome to Holland, where she shares what life has been like for her in this new, foreign land, so we knew that we just had to have her on the podcast! Join us as we find out how reframing our perspective can help us enjoy Holland! 

We talk about:

• Getting a rare diagnosis shortly after the birth of her first child
• What it’s like embarking on the journey to Holland after spending a career serving others already there
• Cri du Chat, “cats cry syndrome”
• Finding your people, even if it’s on social media through a hashtag
• Being taught how strong you can be
• The transition from grief to loving Holland
• Surviving the turbulent entry into motherhood
• Writing as a therapeutic outlet to process big feelings
• Living in the moment
• Reframing difficult situations as opportunities to learn
