Why the Hardest Part of Your Story Isn’t the End with Abby Zachritz // The Nona Jones Show

In today's episode of The Nona Jones Show, I'm joined by Abby Zachritz to discuss the unique challenges—and yes, the joys—of parenting children with disabilities and complex medical diagnoses.

Now, before we get into it, let’s look at the reality:
➡️ In the U.S. alone, 1 in 6 children has a developmental disability.
➡️ Over 3 million children live with complex medical conditions requiring ongoing care.
➡️ And behind every one of those children is a parent—a warrior—often juggling grief, advocacy, financial stress, and loneliness… all while trying to hold their families together.

But here’s the thing: in the middle of that storm, there is beauty. There is strength. And there is purpose. And today’s guest is someone who embodies all of that and more.
If you are a parent walking through this journey—or if you know someone who is—this conversation is your invitation to breathe, to be seen, and to know: you are not alone.
