  • 活在当下, 放下过去
    Nov 1 2024

    Keenbie 是三个孩子的母亲,也是她患有自闭症的双胞胎儿子的全职照顾者。这从来都不是基恩比想象中的生活,因为她只想努力工作,成为最好的妻子、母亲和职业女性.

    在她的双胞胎被诊断出患有自闭症后,她的世界崩溃了,她不再知道自己是谁。

    来聆听Keenbie如何面对她最深邃的恐惧,如何学会活在当下,这种勇敢面对的心态开启她了接受事实、寻求帮助和重新发现自己的渠道/能力.

    Keenbie is a mother of three, and a full-time caregiver to her twin sons who are autistic. This was never the life Keenbie thought she would lead because all she ever wanted was to work hard to become the best wife, mother and career woman.

    Her world crashed after her twins were diagnosed with autism and she did not know who she was anymore.

    Listen to how Keenbie confronted her deepest fears and learned to live in the present, which opened the pathway to acceptance, seeking help and rediscovering herself.
