In this episode of The Commons with Karla, I am joined by the incredible Shanna Southam, a devoted wife and mother with a deep passion for advocating for her young adult children. Shanna shares her inspiring journey, revealing how she navigates challenges, leverages her strengths, and fosters a sense of community among warriors, both in her gym and in the broader context of life with advocacy for individuals with disabilities. Shanna's narrative showcases her resilience and unwavering strength, proving that while challenges may shape circumstances, they do not define. Join us as we dive into Shanna's story, drawing inspiration from her experiences and reflecting on our own strength and resilience. I hope this episode reminds you of the power within your own story.
