The Adapted Life, Finding NextAuthor: Julie Hasselberger
Im Julie Hasselberger. For 26 years, I was the full-time caregiver for my beloved son Daniel, whose life was marked by profound disability and extraordinary beauty. This podcast began as a way to support other parents navigating the complex, often isolating world of special needs caregiving. But life changed heartbreakingly and irrevocably when my son passed away.Now, The Adapted Life, Finding Next is a space for truth-telling, tenderness, and transformation. Its about what comes after the role that once defined you is gone. Its about grief, relational trauma, resilience, and the raw, ongoing search for next for purpose, healing, and connection.If youre facing a season of reckoning, rebuilding, or rediscovery, I invite you to walk with me. You are not alone. This is the adapted life and together, well find what comes next.

Send me a Text MessageHello, In this episode I speak tenderly about how meditation has transformed my journey with grief and pain. This is my first ever guided meditation, so I am sure it won't be perfect. I have layered grief, and deep trauma. It has significantly caused me so much difficulty in finding my way again. This is why I added on "finding next", because this journey is just that, a journey. I hope this meditation brings you some calm. I love visualizing the forest full of giant pines that we saw in the San Jacinto mountains in California where my daughter recently got married.I'm trying to live each day, with the goal of existing and creating from my heart. It is about all my broken heart can spare. But I am here, dear ones. I am here because I know I am not alone in my pain. Maybe we can step side by side and heal trauma together. Maybe even one little moment is enough. Please feel free to leave me some feedback, you can find me also on you tube, instagram, Facebook, and here. I have been hoping to learn how to be a meditation guide, which is what I am working on now. I thought... why not just try.
