It's Okay To Laugh

About It's Okay To Laugh

Hi! We're Rich and Hilary, and we have a daughter with special needs named Jane. Loving someone with disabilities can be a rocky journey! We want listeners with special needs loved ones to know they're not alone. We also want to help listeners outside of the special needs lifestyle not feel too awkward about it. Because let's be honest, special needs can get SUPER weird. So whether you're a caretaker or just want to learn more, remember - it's okay to laugh!

   "I Feel Like Frodo In Lord Of The Rings"

   SURPRISE!! We're still alive! And we're here to talk about how J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" speak to us on a deep level as special needs parents. So if you're a special needs parent, a Tolkien lover, or just someone who might enjoy two nerds making the ridiculous comparison that one man's beloved WWI-inspired fantasy epic is even remotely like parenting a special needs child, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU!!

   "I Don't Want To Explain Sex To ANY Five-Year-Old" (Maintaining Consistent Intimacy)

   In this episode, Rich and Hilary awkwardly attempt to answer a listener's question about maintaining intimacy as parents of small, needy and/or special needs-y children. Do we kiss in front of our kids? Do we schedule times to "be intimate"? Should intimacy feel like hard work? Listen to find out!
