Navigating Motherhood with Hearing Loss: An Inspiring Conversation with Shannon Bonardy

In this heartfelt episode of The Wellness Pod, I had the privilege of speaking with Shannon Bonardy, a hard-of-hearing mom and passionate advocate for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Shannon shared her journey of navigating motherhood with hearing loss and the challenges she has faced in medical and psychiatric settings as an underserved member of this community.

We discussed the unique mental health struggles faced by Deaf and hard-of-hearing mothers, the importance of creating inclusive spaces in healthcare, and how Shannon uses her voice to empower other moms who feel unseen or unsupported. Her story is a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength it takes to thrive in the face of adversity.

Whether you're part of the Deaf/HoH community or simply looking to learn and grow in your understanding of diverse motherhood experiences, this episode is filled with valuable insights and inspiration.
