Kris Burbank & Dr. Linda Hoopes: Embracing Another Normal

Make Life Less Difficult

My guests today are Kris Burbank and Dr. Linda Hoopes.

Kris and Linda are the authors of the book, Embracing Another Normal: Resilience Stories and Strategies for Raising Children with Disabilities.
Kris is a returning guest on my podcast. You can hear more of her story on episode 39. She is a Leadership Coach, who among many other things, works with parents of children with disabilities, helping them maneuver the ins and outs of a journey they may not have expected.
Linda is an award-winning author and researcher on personal resilience. Her company is Resilience Alliance and she has created a powerful model called Prosilience (also the title of one of her books), that is about calming yourself, choosing strategies, solving problems, and managing energy.
Together, they weave these four pillars of prosilience with the six fundamental challenges of raising children with disabilities into this impactful book. They share stories of how parents and families have navigated these challenges and provide a framework for connecting successful strategies to the key building blocks of resilience.
I’m honored to host this conversation with the two of them here and know you will be touched and inspired in your own journey.
Kris and Linda, thank you for spending this time with me. Thank you for sharing your personal stories, the stories of brave families you’ve worked with, and for sharing the wisdom and insights you’ve developed, gained, and created to make the world a better place.
