We tell ourselves we’ll look at the guardianship papers someday. We’ll finalize the budget someday. We’ll address the long-term legacy someday. But when your calendar is a constant cycle of appointments and advocacy, "someday" becomes a trap—a way to manage the overwhelm while the weight of the unfinished business continues to grow.

In this episode, we are changing the narrative. We’re moving from the pressure of "someday" to the peace of Sum Day is Today.

Drawing on over 20 years of experience in financial services and the personal reality of navigating a blended family with complex needs, I’m breaking down why organizing your financial house is the highest form of advocacy you can provide for your loved ones. This isn’t about being a financial expert; it’s about moving from survival mode into a mindset of stewardship.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Weight of "Later": Why "someday" is a trap for caregivers and how to shift toward immediate action.

• The Stewardship Mindset: Redefining financial planning as a tool for advocacy and the "Continuum of Care."

• The One-Person Production Team: Acknowledging the sensory burnout of caregiving and how to do the right things, not everything.

How? By seeking treatment for his OCD diagnosis, changing his diet, re-committing to healthy nutrition, moving to California and doing something remarkable. Oliver decided to first face the fact that he could not read.

]]> <p>Billy Price returns for a visit with Shawn &amp; Brian. As a teenager, Seattle native Billy Price suffered a spinal cord injury and became paralyzed from the chest down, losing the ability to move his fingers.

Born out of a need, BILLY Footwear (https://billyfootwear.com/?ref=just-two-dads) was founded on the principle of inclusion. Along with fellow co-founder Darin Donaldson, Billy strives to add value to the lives of others and make a measurable difference in the world, one foot at a time.</p> <p><br></p> <p>—</p> <p><br></p> <p>eMail:wearejusttwodads@gmail.com</p> <p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/just_two_dads/</p> <p>Podcast: https://anchor.fm/justtwodads</p> <p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justtwodads</p> <p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wearejusttwodads</p> <p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-GN4T9fkHEVR5R_16w_7bw</p> <p><br></p> <p>#BillyPrice #BillyFootwear #MakingaMeasurableDifferenceOneFootataTime</p> e8bf61c5-61eb-454d-92f6-10edef41b608 https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justtwodads/episodes/Episode-112-Billy-Price---Making-a-Measurable-Difference-One-Foot-at-a-Time-e1qh2hr Wed, 09 Nov 2022 19:00:19 +0000 3417 no full Episode 111: Jacqueline Nixon - Children’s Book Author Episode 111: Jacqueline Nixon - Children’s Book Author 111 Beyond the Spectrum...every age, every need <p>Jacqueline Nixon visits with Shawn &amp; Brian.

Alspaugh-Jackson is the co-author of 2 books, Not Your Mother’s Midlife: A Ten Step Guide to Fearless Aging, and Fearless Women: Midlife Portraits with Marilyn Kentz. Alspaugh-Jackson and Kentz have done extensive motivational speaking about fearless aging as well as performed nationally in the two women show, Boomer Babes. The 2 women are currently teaching an online course, Fearless Aging Together. From 2005 until October of 2019, she served as Executive Director of Autism Care Today, a role she was led to after dedicating herself to finding ways to help her own son, Wyatt, diagnosed with autism at the age of three.

Under her leadership, Autism Care Today has distributed close to 2.5 million dollars in grants to families around the country. Alspaugh-Jackson serves as co-host of Let’s Talk Autism with Shannon and Nancy on Autism Live (https://autism-live.com/), an interactive webcast providing support, resources, information, entertainment and inspiration to parents and practitioners working with those on the Autism Spectrum.

After discovering gaps in the assistive communication systems for young children with speech delays and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder, Natashia Kletter from I Want to Tell You books designed a communication system that looks like a toy but functions like a communication device. Using her observations of her own special needs son and neurotypical daughter, she designed soundboard communication books that feature core communication words using photos, sign language, sight words, and audio buttons. Words like “more,” “all done,” “help,” “eat,” and “I love you” give young children greater self-advocacy, independence and reduce frustration.

Ms. Kelman initially practiced in the area of criminal defense for 7 years, amassing an impressive number of  “Set Aside” (case dismissal) findings in Driving Under the Influence Administrative Per Se hearings, of which she conducted over 3000.

“just two dads”, Brian Altounian & Shawn Francis are joined by special needs Warrior & then some, Susan Fink. We can’t wait for you to hear her story!! 

Susan Fink is a marketing executive by trade, a 42 year old single mom, and and autism advocate, supporting other families who have children with autism/special needs through her podcast "Rise with the Light" and helping others push through what they are going through to reach their goals, working through their challenges as a mindset coach.  She believes her purpose on Earth is to help other people, to take what she has been through, and what she has learned and worked so hard to push through, the deepest darkest times in my life, so that she could help others do the same.


Her personal accomplishments stem from the work she does to help others, but she's able to do this because of what she has pushed through herself, some of the darkest times in her life, to include:

 

- cervical cancer

- brain surgery

- finalizing a divorce while 8 months pregnant (Separated from her ex, moved - out of their house and two weeks later found out she  was pregnant - and    decided to go it alone, while working full time and with a high-risk pregnancy)

an autism diagnosis for her son at the age of 3 

- losing 60 pounds primarily through making huge mindset shifts (She used to be 195 pounds, and have been able to keep off the weight for 2 years)

- being single, on a single income, advocating for her son and ensuring he has everything he needs to support him and his challenges


The BIGGEST accomplishment for her is going through all of this and coming out stronger, with a stronger mind, heart and wholeness, grounded and able to help other people. This is her purpose.

In this episode just Two Dads chat with Founder & Executive Director of WE Are Brave Together, Jessica Patay. 

 Jessica Patay is a mother, wife, and advocate/cheerleader for Special Needs Mothers. She has been married to her husband, Chris, for 23 years and they reside in the Palos Verdes area of Southern California. They have two sons and a daughter, all teenagers.  Their second son, age 17, was born with a rare, medically complex genetic disorder, called Prader-Willi syndrome. 

Because Jessica is passionate about serving, mentoring, and inspiring other Special Needs Moms, she launched and leads a non- profit organization called We Are Brave Together.  WABT provides resources, respite, support groups, mentoring and inspiration for moms caring for children or adult children, any age, with any diagnosis, disability or challenge. She believes in the power of gathering to empower, strengthen and uplift moms in their unique, diverse and difficult journeys. WABT offers support groups, workshops, retreats and inspirational events.  (During this quarantine, WABT is offering Zoom Support Group meetings. Jessica Patay is the host of Brave Together podcast, which can be found iTunes and Spotify. You can find out more about WABT at wearebravetogether.com and see their resourceful and inspirational posts on Instagram @wearebravetogether. 

Jessica Patay has always been a lover of words, ever since 2nd grade when she declared she wanted to be a famous “arthur.”  She has been blogging (off & on) since 2012 for moms and Special Needs Moms.  Her superpower is her honesty in truth- telling from the trenches of Motherhood.  She is a three-time alumnus with Expressing Motherhood, a stage show of storytellers and performers all sharing stories about motherhood.   

Two of Jessica’s favorite quotes are: 

 "This is the power of gathering; it inspires us delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: In a word, more alive" --Alice Waters 

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." --Leo Buscaglia

Follow and join Rebecca for a dash-cam view of some of her best (and worst) moments with some tips, tricks, experience, and products along the way.  Are you with an online media platform, print publication or community organization?

With a lack of verbal filters and a surplus of sensory irritants, there is never a dull moment in my comical household.  I have surrendered and conformed to a very structured lifestyle.  I am the family coach, advocate, and referee.  In the words of my family, I am a thoughtful, caring person with obsessive tendencies and a love for everything cozy.  It is true- I am a track-pant-wearing, bra-less preferring, medicated warrior.
