This is Krista. Becoming a mother of twins at 35 changed everything, and even more so when one of them suffered a brain injury at birth. She learned to balance grief with problem-solving, to lean on her husband while advocating together, and to trust schools and professionals while finding her own ways to support her children. A neighbor of Zeno Mountain Farm, she discovered a community that expanded her sense of what’s possible. Now, with the twins heading off to college, she reflects on raising children with and without disabilities—and what it has taught her about letting go.

Listen to Krista's daughters, Isabelle and Hannah, in episodes 1 & 2.

I’m Léa Hirschfeld, and this is Out of Sync: exploring life through disability, one story at a time.
