Uninvited: Julie Schiller

Uninvited: Julie Schiller

In part two of our Uninvited series, Becky Davidson sits down with Julie Schiller for an honest conversation about how life as a special needs parent can change your relationships and leave you feeling isolated.

Julie, a mom of four and a medical mom to her son, Easton, shares some of the scary medical challenges her family has faced and how living with constant uncertainty has affected their friendships and everyday life. Together, Becky and Julie talk about the hurt of feeling left out, the friends who have shown up in meaningful ways, and why sometimes people stop reaching out simply because they don’t know what to do.

They also share practical ways we can support one another, even when we don’t have the perfect words or all the answers.

If you’ve ever felt left out or wondered how to support a special needs family, this conversation is for you. And here’s your challenge: reach out to someone this week. Send the text, make the call, or invite them for coffee. You never know how much that simple gesture might mean.
