Listen to today's podcast... We take for granted our health and the health of our children.  But what if you are a family that has a child who is facing special challenges? Your child's health and well-being are always at the forefront of every decision that you make. Special Kids Day was put together to help families cope during the extra stress of the holidays. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Special Kids Day by showing your support for these special families: Provide the gift of time. You may be able to pick up items that would save a run to the mall or the grocery store for the family. Provide ready to eat meals for the ‘crazy' days…the days where it is non-stop appointments or that are especially difficult to cope. Let them know that you are there for their family.  It can be very isolating and lonely and true friends are hard to come by.  But don't wait to be asked, as it is hard for many parents of special needs children to reach out and ask for help. At the end of the day the health of our children is the most important thing to a parent. If you like today's resiliency tips, let me know. Want to find more strategies to coping with stress?

Jesse goes solo for a deep dive into the vital yet often overlooked world of special needs financial planning. He opens with a personal story about his daughter's illness—an experience that deepened his empathy for parents whose caregiving journeys never pause—and uses it to frame the emotional and financial realities families face when raising a child with disabilities. From there, he explores how special needs planning extends beyond traditional wealth management, requiring families to think in decades, not years, while balancing their own retirement goals with lifelong care needs. Jesse breaks down key tools such as special needs trusts, ABLE accounts, and government programs like SSI and Medicaid, explaining how they work together to preserve benefits and provide sustainable support. He also examines the potential role of permanent life insurance as a funding mechanism for long-term care, the legal importance of guardianship and trusteeship, and the wisdom of separating caregiving and financial responsibilities to prevent burnout. Throughout, Jesse underscores the need for community resources, professional guidance, and self-care—reminding listeners that special needs planning isn't just about money, but about love, security, and building a future where every member of the family can thrive. Key Takeaways:• Raising a child with special needs requires planning for both the parents' and the child's lifetimes—often extending decades beyond traditional financial horizons. • Special needs families face higher ongoing costs, from medical treatments and therapies to adaptive equipment and in-home care. • Core financial fundamentals—emergency savings, retirement planning, tax strategy, and estate planning—remain essential but must be adapted for special needs circumstances. • Nonprofits, community organizations, and local programs can offer both financial aid and emotional support for families. • Professional guidance from fiduciary planners and special needs attorneys can help families integrate benefits, trusts, and insurance effectively. • Above all, special needs planning is about more than money—it's about love, security, and ensuring a dignified, supported life for every family member.

The Power of Intention, Grief, and Choice In this deeply moving and heartfelt episode of Soul Fusion, I sit down with Amy, a woman whose journey through love, loss, and transformation is nothing short of inspiring. Amy shares her beautiful love story with her late husband, Brian, and how an unexpected and devastating diagnosis changed everything. But rather than letting fear take over, they made a conscious choice—to live with intention. We dive into what it means to hold two emotions at once, how to navigate grief without letting it define you, and the power we have to choose how we show up in the face of loss. Amy's wisdom, born from her lived experience, is a guiding light for anyone navigating grief, supporting a loved one through it, or simply wanting to live with more purpose. Key Takeaways: The Power of Intentional Living – How Amy and Brian embraced every moment, even in the face of terminal illness. Grief & Joy Can Coexist – Understanding that sorrow and beauty are not mutually exclusive. How to Support Someone Through Loss – What truly helps and what well-meaning words can do more harm than good. Leaving a Legacy – How Amy's experience led her to create Walk the Red, a mission-driven company supporting those navigating terminal illness and loss. Memorable Moments: “You don't want to waste your pain. If you have to go through it, why not mine something valuable from it?” – Amy “We knew Brian was on a timer, but the truth is—we all are. The only difference is awareness.” – Amy “Grief is ugly, messy, and real.

Listen to today's podcast... We take for granted our health and the health of our children.  But what if you are a family that has a child who is facing special challenges? Your child's health and well-being are always at the forefront of every decision that you make. Special Kids Day was put together to help families cope during the extra stress of the holidays. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Special Kids Day by showing your support for these special families: Provide the gift of time. You may be able to pick up items that would save a run to the mall or the grocery store for the family. Provide ready to eat meals for the ‘crazy' days…the days where it is non-stop appointments or that are especially difficult to cope. Let them know that you are there for their family.  It can be very isolating and lonely and true friends are hard to come by.  But don't wait to be asked, as it is hard for many parents of special needs children to reach out and ask for help. At the end of the day the health of our children is the most important thing to a parent. If you like today's resiliency tips, let me know. Want to find more strategies to coping with stress?
