The first guest for 2024, Faye Simon, is the Editor-in-Chief of Exceptional Parent Magazine. Faye shared her journey from being an early childhood teacher to leading a publication that serves as a lifeline for families with special needs. The magazine’s mission is to provide valuable information, resources, and stories that inspire and empower. With a focus on awareness, acceptance, and inclusion, Exceptional Parent Magazine has a special place for military families, ensuring that no one is left behind.

Faye’s dedication to reaching and helping as many individuals and families as possible. She invites everyone to sign up for the magazine’s digital publication for free at epmagazine.com —a resource that can make a significant difference in the lives of many.

This episode has been a powerful reminder of the importance of community, connection, and the resources available to those in need. Whether it’s through supporting our veterans, preventing suicide, or providing a helping hand to families with special needs, we all have a role to play in creating a more inclusive and supportive society.
