About Me

Hi I am Michelle Stephens founder of JR Connections.

 

As a result of my Coaching program and perrsonalized Health Planners you will transform from a Caregiver to a Health Boss . I am looking for Specail Needs Moms are looking to prevent caregiver burnout, reduce overwhelm, and enjoy motherhood.

 

In the Health Boss Empowerment program I empower Special Needs Moms to thrive beyond the medically fragile diagnosis and commit to improving their own health while improving their child's. The focus is not just health its how to juggle all of the responsibilities of being a Special Needs Mom and still be able to show up for yourself.

 

A little about me. I have a been a special needs Mom for almost 20 years. My introduction to this world came in 2001 when my 2nd daughter was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 4.

 

In 2009 my 2nd son was born at 26 weeks. He weighed 1 lb 12oz and spent 4 1/2 months in the NICU. His current diagnosis is Quadriplegic Spastic Cerebral Palsy. His days are spent in a wheelchair and he has a feeding tube.

 

In 2010 my oldest son was diagnosed with ADHD and severe allergies. Every year he would pop up with new allergies and we didn’t know how we were going to protect him in school since he was only 3 and couldn’t really communicate when something was wrong.

 

In 2017 my oldest daughter was in a horrific car accident. She broke both side of her neck at C2. She had 5 surgeries in 3 days and was bed written with a feeding tube and dependent on everyone for her daily care. Yes the feeding tube came up again. Fortunately she walked out of the hospital in less than 30 days.

 

January of 2020 my husband was hospitalized for 9 days due to cardiovascular heart failure, kidney damage, diabetes, blood pressure, and sleep apnea. I worked on his health and helped him loose 90 lbs in 6 months. I also lost 45 in 4 months and have kept it off for 2 years now.

 

Every time I was faced with a medical event I went into Health Boss Mode. I want to help newly diagnosed Moms learn how to navigate this Super Special World. I help moms focus and commit to improving their minds, body, and bank accounts. I show them how to show up

• For your child
• For your self
• At your job
• At the Dr

• Show up at school
• Show up at home

This medical planner was created with the Special Needs Mom in mind.
