Disabled Expectations 18- Dan Schmidt

In this episode of Disabled Expectations, Andy sits down with Dan Schmidt, a dad whose 18-year-old daughter, Jessica, has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy.

Dan shares what it looks like to intentionally fight for his marriage and faithfully show up as a father in the disability world. This conversation centers on commitment, leadership, and the daily choices required to love well when life looks different than expected.

This is an honest and encouraging discussion for dads, parents, and couples navigating disability—focused on perseverance, presence, and the long road of fatherhood.

This episode is sponsored by Certain Hope Community, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families who have children with disabilities.
