In this episode of “Parenting Impossible,” host Annette Hines answers all of your frequently asked questions. As a speaker, podcast host, author, lawyer, business owner and mother, managing all of her roles can be a challenge, but her goal is to help other people in the disability community find the resources they need in one place. That’s what this podcast is all about! 

Annette says, “The information system is so fractured in our community.” In light of this, we need to have one place to go for information. In this episode, she shares her advice and knowledge about general questions for legal terms, caregiver burnout, the COVID-19 vaccine, being an author and podcast host and more. Most importantly, she says that you need to share your story in your own way. 

Since each case is vastly different, she is not able to give legal advice to individuals who are not her client. This is not due to the lack of legal fees. Annette needs to know a case and its specific context well in order to give people the best possible legal advice. 

More than legal services, you can check out our family services or our free resources for more information to help answer your questions. For legal advice, inspiration and other resources, visit our blog here. Similarly, you can always listen to previous podcast episodes (and be sure to leave us a review), or download our free eBook here

You can also join our free Facebook community for the disability community, the “Circle of Care,” or watch the webinars and other speaking events on YouTube. The purpose of this community is to create a space for people to be themselves, ask questions and get support and answers, so please share these resources with your friends!
