Loving Large: When It's Mom's Turn To Live with Patti Hall

 

 

Patti Hall is a book coach and author of Loving Large, a memoir where she documented the struggles and joys of being a mother to a son afflicted with a rare medical condition. She is an experienced writing coach and ghostwriter with extensive experience in the writing and editing industry.

 

In 2009, Patti and her family's lives abruptly changed when doctors found a tumor inside her son, which caused him to have a rare condition called gigantism. Between being a mother to two teenage boys and being her son's caretaker, there were times where she wanted to give up, but she didn't out of love and responsibility. Her story is not just her own and she wants the world to know that there's always a silver lining if you don't stop looking.

 

Patti joins me today to share the struggle of being a mother of a child with a rare disease. She describes the personal battles she fought and how she overcame her depression. She explains what it was like to find out what her son had, and how it changed her and her family’s life. She discusses the mental and physical toll the disease took on her and how she found the motivation to move forward. Patti also describes some of the permissions she gave herself and how she plans to live her life moving forward.

 

 

"Every phone call, every moment, can flip like a dandelion in the wind... and my life did." - Patti Hall
