June is often seen as a month of transition—school ends, schedules shift, and families find a new rhythm. It’s also a powerful time to pause and reflect on where we are and where God might be calling us next.
For many caregivers and moms of children with special healthcare needs, this pause reveals something unexpected: the caregiving journey has not only changed their lives—it’s reshaped their sense of purpose. Some begin to feel the desire to step into new roles: speech-language pathology, holistic health, special education, counseling, or advocacy.
If that’s you, you’re not alone—and you’re not unqualified.
The journey of caring for a child with developmental needs equips you in ways a textbook never could. You learn patience, adaptability, communication strategies, and fierce advocacy. These skills are the foundation of countless healing professions.
This is your sign: your lived experience is your superpower.
So many faith-led professionals started as moms in the waiting rooms. They transitioned from being caregivers to licensed professionals who now help other families thrive. What began as survival became service—a calling, not just a career.
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us: “For I know the plans I have for you…plans to give you a future and a hope.” If you feel a tug on your heart to explore something new, trust that the God who called you to caregiving is also equipping you for more.
