“This isn’t just a memoir but an act of resistance.” —Kiana Moore, vice president of content production at Vox Media
It takes a village to raise a child, and raising a child with complex health care needs may require that village to be dismantled and rebuilt in unexpected ways.
With over thirty years as a caregiver and disability advocate, Lola teaches readers that navigating life on the spectrum and parenting autistic children can lead to a whole life—and the realization that perfection is an illusion.
Lola is an attorney, advocate, podcaster, speaker, lifelong caregiver, and recipient of a Kim and Kasey Floyd Rural Social Justice Award from the American Council on Rural Special Education. She and her family also shared part of their story in Sensory Overload, a Vox Media documentary (Hulu).
Inside this personal transformation book for caregivers, discover how to:
-recognize the new lane you find yourself in,
-redefine what success can look like within your new parameters,
-reimagine what it means to thrive,
-identify incremental progress as progress, and
-take back your life outlook!
“A testament to breaking generational cycles of erasure and martyrdom. It reminds us that caregiving does not require self-abandonment, and that even as we show up for others, our wholeness, dignity, and humanity matter too.” —Lisa Hurley, author of Space to Exhale and founder of The Great Exhale
You don’t have to disappear in service to everyone else. Whether you’re facing caregiver burnout or navigating a loved one’s trauma or disability, Unapologetically Whole is the guidance you need to embrace the assignment of a lifetime.
