Stories from the inside.
Honest reflections on disability, caregiving, trauma, identity, and the relationships that hold us together.
This blog is where we tell the truth about what life with disability and caregiving actually feels like; the messy parts, the tender parts, the funny parts, the heartbreaking parts, and the moments that change you in ways you never expected. These aren’t polished stories or clinical explanations (though Shawna may geek out over some science-y stuff every now and again).
They’re lived experiences. They’re the things we wish someone had told us sooner. They’re the moments that make you think, “Oh. It’s not just me.” If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or overwhelmed by the weight of this life, you’ll find pieces of yourself here
What you'll find here
Our blog is a mix of:
• Personal stories from our life with MG, TBI, PTSD, chronic illness, and caregiving
• Reflections on identity, grief, resilience, and rebuilding
• Relationship insights from a marriage shaped by disability
• Moments of humor because sometimes you have to laugh to survive
• Hard truths that no one prepares you for
• Small victories that deserve to be celebrated
Every post is written with honesty, warmth, and the hope that it helps someone feel less alone.
