Special Needs Parent Trauma is Real: An Interview With Jennie Owens by Amy J. Brown
Special Needs Parent Trauma is Real: An Interview With Jennie Owens by Amy J. Brown
Amy sits down with Jennie Owens, who has parented over 100 kids and has trained thousands of families in trauma-informed care, therapeutic parenting, and caregiver self-care.
The episode delves deep into the concept of trauma and explains how the nervous system perceives it. Jennie shares how trauma can cause one to feel overwhelmed and how rejection can activate the same part of the brain as physical pain.
This episode will help you give yourself permission to prioritize self-care and understand that it’s not selfish but just as important as caring for your child.

What a few of our amazing listeners are saying…
“I just wanted to let you know I am enjoying the podcast so incredibly much for so many reasons! I have really enjoyed learning more about special needs families and the struggles and victories in all of your lives. Not being a special needs parent I have found that I still find so much in every episode that I can relate to in the world of mothering, womanhood, and/or as a Christian. I appreciate how raw and honest all 3 of you are.”
“Thank you for all that you do to reach moms of kiddos with special needs. It’s a journey not everyone can understand. The fact you use that platform to shine the Light of Christ to others is such an awesome gift! Growing the Kingdom, that’s what it’s all about!”
“I just finished listening to your most recent podcast, and it was so good. I felt so seen, and I really needed that today. So thank you!”
