Parenting Wisdom from Experienced Mom Laurie Szabo About Living a Full Life Beyond the Medical

Empowered by Hope

Have you ever wondered how would it feel to juggle parenting six children while managing the challenges of childhood illnesses, with not one, but two kids? We bring you an intimate conversation with Laurie Szabo, a French teacher, and an avid globetrotter, who sheds light on her journey as a mother to six kids. The way Laurie and her husband navigated the challenges of raising two children with medical conditions is nothing short of inspiring. Her insights on transitioning advocacy responsibilities to your children as they become adults are invaluable.
We get a taste of Laurie's exciting traveling adventures across 37 countries that are filled with rich experiences. This includes snorkeling with whale sharks in the Philippines, trekking two miles into the jungle to explore the ATM Cave in Guatemala, and an amusing meal in Kuala Lumpur. Lori also gives us a peek into their family's Disney tradition and encourages us to seize opportunities for fun, reminding us that it is okay to take a break from everyday responsibilities.
We wrap up the conversation with Laurie's valuable tips on parenting and prioritizing responsibilities, shedding light on the importance of instilling leadership roles in older children, the significance of family time and activities, and how parents can support their children with medical conditions. Laurie also emphasizes the importance of self-care for parents, which can take many forms, from taking a break to engaging in activities that bring joy. Buckle up for this episode, filled with hope, unity, and invaluable parenting wisdom.
