In this inspiring episode of Women Lessons, host Traci Peterson engages in a heartfelt conversation with mother-daughter duo Jennifer and Kennedy Swan. They discuss living a life without limits, the journey of navigating a neuromuscular condition, where Kennedy communicates with an eye movement-to-speech assist device. She is the first ever TedX speaker to use such a device, but nothing will stop this 15 year old powerhouse from accomplishing a goal. She educates us on the importance of confidence and dreams. Kennedy shares her experiences, while Jennifer reflects on her journey as a caregiver and advocate. Together, they emphasize the power of connection, community, and the importance of dreaming big, regardless of circumstances. The episode culminates in their upcoming TEDx talk, where they aim to inspire others to live fully and authentically.
