Josie Hau’s journey through motherhood is both inspiring and deeply moving. In this episode, she shares how raising a child with a congenital heart defect and Down syndrome brought immense challenges, from a difficult diagnosis during pregnancy to multiple heart surgeries. Despite the hardships, Josie found strength in community and created "Love for Littles," an initiative that uses simple support bracelets to bring families together in compassion. Her story also highlights the unpredictability of motherhood, including another challenge during her fourth pregnancy, and reminds us that asking for help is an act of courage. Through it all, Josie shows how self-care, connection, and finding joy in adversity can help us thrive.
Key Takeaways:
- Strength in Vulnerability: Asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness.
- The Power of Community: Small acts of kindness can create lasting bonds.
- Finding Joy in Hardship: Light and joy can be found even in life’s toughest moments.
