À propos de ce contenu audio

 When the clock strikes midnight as we ring in a new year, our problems don't magically resolve. Everything from the previous year carries over and more piles on as we get back up and running. But there's nothing wrong with setting our cynism aside to embrace a new year as a sort of clean slate. January is the perfect time to look at life from a different lens and maybe adopt a fresh perspective. And perhaps that perspective is inside us, and 2026 is the year we start listening to ourselves and trusting our insticts. The Odyssey: Parenting. Caregiving. Disability. The Center for Family Involvement at VCU School of Education's Partnership for People with Disabilities provides informational and emotional support to people with disabilities and their families. All of our services are free. We just want to help. We know how hard this can be because we're in it with you. TRANSCRIPT: 01;00;13;29 - 01;00;15;20 Welcome to the Odyssey. Parenting. Caregiving. Disability. I'm Erin Croyle, the creator and host. The Odyssey podcast explores how our lives change. When a loved one has a disability. I was lucky enough to head down this less traveled road when my first child was born with Down's Syndrome in 2010. This podcast explores the triumphs and hardships we face. We celebrate the joys of the odyssey of parenting, caregiving, and disability bring. But we don't shy away from the tough stuff. Since I'm all about keeping it real, I'm going to jump right in and say 2025 was probably the hardest year of my life to date. And it's not like the clock strikes midnight on New Year's and poof, that all goes away. Y'all, BLEEP is still hard as BLEEP. And that's not going to change any time soon. But the one thing that I love about the New year is it can offer a fresh perspective if you allow it too. And that's where I'll begin. So about that fresh perspective. I am a perfectionist. And it makes it really hard to be the creator, host, producer, editor, all the things of a podcast it's a lot of work. And, in addition to my work at the Center for Family Involvement; in 2025, I was lucky enough to join on, at ACT for Youth at Cornell University, working there as part of the communications unit. And I absolutely love it. And it allows me to also work with families and professionals who are dealing with special health care needs and disabilities. It is a deep, deep passion of mine. I am a journalist by trade and so production volume, production value is really important to me. And so it's very hard to do a podcast and not edit the living daylights out of it for any little errors or mistakes that I make, especially right now when I'm just kind of spit-balling. But like I mentioned in the intro, I've had a really hard year and that came with technical difficulties and life difficulties and just difficulties, y'all. And so that fresh perspective that I'm trying to welcome into my life is just to not try to be so perfect in all aspects of it. And so maybe this podcast will be a little messier and maybe they'll be a little more. I don't know. More pauses. See, even there I am, I have I'm having a hard time because I didn't get the grammar right. But there'll be more pauses, more ums, more whatever. When I start bringing interviews back on, when I have the bandwidth to edit them, maybe I won't edit them so much. I have a few in the can that I need to do, but I'm used to working with a team, and I'm a one man band here, and when you're juggling all of these things in life, you just can't do it all. And you certainly can't do it all perfectly. And I recognize and talk openly about disability and neurodiversity, and my own neurodiversity is got this perfectionism trap. And man, does it really, really, really, really get in the way of getting stuff done. I don't know, I just had a notification and in previous iterations I would have started over and I'm not going to start over. So if that got through on the audio, so be it. If my dog barks on the audio, so be it. I'm going to roll with it. And I got to tell you, you know, speaking about that neurodiversity piece, man, I don't know. I want to be honest, like the ADHD thing where, some tasks are hard and having three kids with neurodiversity and differing support needs, seeing the the avoidance of non-preferred tasks, as we like to call them. I have the technical difficulties on this podcast and trying to figure those out like it's it's this thing where, I don't know, you work around the clock, but your brain cannot focus on what you need to get done. And I, I like to I think of it as like a chainsaw, like where, you know, or to push them out or whatever, where you have to pull the, not the lever, but the string thingamabob. Right. And it's been a long time since I've done it. But like, if you can't pull it hard enough, if your arms not long enough. I mean, talk about not being tall or not being...
