How to be your own source of support in troubling times
In times of overwhelming challenge and uncertainty, the ability to silence the noise, listen deeply, and connect with something larger than ourselves – whether through faith, values, or inner wisdom – is what carries us through and reveals the path forward, transforming our struggles into purpose and our pain into the power to help others.
Ronel Hentschel’s work has been deeply influenced by her personal experience as the mother of a son diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a toddler. This shaped her career path towards supporting other families facing similar challenges, and led her to found Washing Parent, a digital publishing platform serving families in the Washington DC area with resources for education, support, and activities.
Ronel’s unshakeable faith has guided her through multiple personal challenges, and it creates for her a deep sense of trust that things will be OK, and the storm will settle.
