About Me
Let's Get Acquainted
Hello mamas! Welcome to the beginnings of a dream of mine that I finally got the guts to get started on; Lift, a Podcast for the Special Needs Mother! My heart feels like it could burst, I am a little nervous and feeling kind of crazy to jump in but hey why not? If we constantly doubt ourselves about dreams we have, we will never go for them. I turned 40 earlier this year and decided I wanted to be the kind of woman, mother, wife and friend that went for it. And here we are:)
My name is Brittany Miller, I am an Arizona native and my husband Ryan Miller and I are raising three beautiful daughters in Queen Creek Arizona. We have a busy crazy happy family life filled with a whole lotta of stress mixed in with memories and parenting. Why am I starting this podcast, social media page and support group? Well I am also a medical mama, special needs mother and over the last decade I have learned that connection with other women who get my life brings me so much joy. I need it. We need it. This road can be difficult and lonely and in this parenting journey we likely never planned on, lifting each other up is essential.
I always tell friends or parents I am working with through my profession that being a mother to a child with a disability is the "most wonderful club I never wanted to be a part of but now cannot live without." Ain't that the truth? I know I am not alone in the feeling of awe and honor that we were chosen Mamas to raise these incredible little heroes that teach us about life and love. We are the lucky ones, it is SO tough, but SO worth it. It is not all roses and rainbows though and I want to be real about this life and its challenges.
I am hoping as I get going on this dream of mine that we can learn together. Laugh together, even cry together. Share experiences and joys and lift each other's spirits. My goal is to do a bi-weekly podcast that will air every other Wednesday afternoon. This may change, I may have to finagle with scheduling depending on family life, guest speakers and let's be real, my daughter Brookie's health, but I am committed to show up. For you, for me and for all of the other special needs mothers out there that need a lift mid week to keep going, keep smiling. Keep persevering. I also will be interviewing mothers from around the country who have stories to tell, journeys to share. We need each other mamas, this life is hard and we do not have to walk alone.
Stay tuned for events, webinars, support groups and more. Lift will only grow and I have big dreams for this community.
I will also share more about my family and our journey and I cannot wait to learn about yours as we travel this new path together. Life is hard.. let's lift each other up- Brit
