Talk With Tori

I am honored to introduce you to my KD sister, Abbey Benjamin, on episode 38 of Talk with Tori!  

Abbey Benjamin shares her journey of parenting her daughter with a rare genetic disorder and epilepsy.  She is passionate and advocates normalizing disabilities and illness in everyday life, and creating an inclusive environment for all.  Her daughter requires total care, but it has not stopped her from enjoying inclusive settings that every child wants to experience.  She opens up about the special bond between her son and daughter, and the importance of exposing children to various environments.  She has a book series called Benjamin Books and recently released her first book, In My Sissy’s Wheelchair, in hopes that her books teach others about inclusion, disabilities, and opportunities for a fulfilled life for all.

She paints a beautiful picture of how each person deserves normalcy in their lives, but it is up to each of us to do our part.

I am humbled to introduce you to the 2010 Miss Tech and my friend, Jenny Lazarus, on episode 34 of Talk with Tori!  

Jenny Lazarus gives us an inside look at her personal journey of infertility.  She is open and honest about the heartbreak and struggles that happen when life does not happen as we plan.  She encourages us to have hard conversations before and in marriage.  Jenny provides knowledge and advice about various causes of infertility that she has gone through including endometriosis, adenomyosis, IUI, IVF, and many other treatments.  This episode is eye-opening, and you will be more aware of the pain this can cause many couples.  Jenny learned that God will provide joy, and give you a new perspective and life plans.  

Infertility is unfortunately very common for many couples, so this episode will not only encourage those who may be going through this journey or will one day, but also help everyone understand the struggles of others who are experiencing this.
