Brave Together Podcast: Support and Community for Caregiving Parents
STORY: Hope and Humor in Hardship with Kristina Kuzmič
Hello Brave Friends! Welcome to today's story episode, #238. These are true stories from a moment in the life of a caregiving parent. We hear a crafted story, and then have a conversation with our guests that goes deeper into their experience.
In this episode of the Brave Together podcast, Kristina Kuzmič shares her journey from childhood in Croatia to becoming a voice of hope and humor for parents navigating the challenges of altered motherhood. Kristina shares her personal journey of navigating guilt as a parent while dealing with her son's mental health struggles. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and how it can positively impact both parents and children. Kristina introduces the concept of 'No, thank you' as a powerful tool to reject judgment and negativity from others. The discussion also touches on the ongoing stigma surrounding mental health and the need for open conversations to combat shame. Finally, Kristina presents her new app, Hope and Humor Daily, designed to provide support and encouragement for parents.
