This week on The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Jess Ronne, founder of The Lucas Project and author of the upcoming book Caregiving with Grit and Grace: 100 Days of Hope and Encouragement (available for pre-order now, launching December 3rd, 2024). Jess is a fierce advocate for caregivers, a mother to eight, and a trailblazer in supporting families who care for individuals with disabilities. In this heartfelt conversation, Jess opens up about her personal journey, including the challenges and triumphs she has faced as a caregiver to her son Lucas, who has profound disabilities, and caregiver to her husband Jason before he passed away from brain cancer. She shares how she found love again and merged families - and how they became a family of 8. Jess discusses why she started The Lucas Project, her mission to create more support, awareness, and respite resources for caregivers, and the reality of balancing advocacy with her own caregiving responsibilities. The Lucas Project is dedicated to transforming the world for caregivers and their families, offering community, resources, and most importantly, a voice for those navigating this path. Jess’s story is one of resilience, faith, and a relentless drive to provide hope to others walking this often difficult road.
