“When your passion and purpose collide, beautiful things happen” – This next guest covers so much ground today and I’m PUMPED for you to meet her.. On the podcast today is Jamie McCabe. Jamie is the Founder, Publisher and Area Director for Special Needs Living Magazine, a publication dedicated to being a resource of connection and support to those living and supporting someone with “special needs.” Jamie knows the demands of a caregiver as she supports 3 beautiful children, one who is autistic, and today she opens up about her journey and the resources that she has found along the way.

Jamie is an amazing example of how when you want something bad enough, you can find room and space to make it happen.. Jamie desperately wanted to make sure other moms, dads, and caregivers had a space to share and connect resources and stories and Special Needs Living Magazine was born. Get ready to take notes! She is bringing so much goodness!
