Mama bear & disability advocate. Putting on her mom genes, one leg at a time. Stringing words together online since 2009.
When Lisa's daughter was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, her family's life changed forever—in the most difficult and beautiful ways. She left her job as an elementary school teacher and reinvented herself as a writer, digital content creator and social media community manager.
Lisa writes about family life and raising a child with special needs. Her writing has been featured on TodaysParent.com, thestar.com, HuffingtonPost.com, savvymom.ca and various other online magazines.
Be kind, not catty. Choose your friends wisely. People who are positive are more fun to be around. It’s okay to be silly. Speak up. Talk it out. Admit when you’re wrong. Don’t back down if you believe it’s the right thing. Try not to worry. And, laugh often because life is hilarious.
