Jessica Slice's journey began during a summer hike when she faced severe dehydration, resulting in a diagnosis of POTS, a debilitating condition. Her experience with disability reshaped her identity and approach to parenting, documented in her book "Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges An Inaccessible World." Slice offers a candid look at the challenges disabled parents face while celebrating moments of tenderness and resilience. She emphasizes the need for a supportive community and infrastructure that accommodates all, reflecting on the universal pressures of parenting and advocating for a shift towards mutual aid and understanding in society.
"Every parent I know feels like they are one logistical hiccup away from a breakdown. How did we get here?"
"My journey with POTS led me to embrace my identity as a person with a disability, which transformed my approach to parenting."
