Living Fierce

Lisa Greer's world was turned upside down during the life-threatening birth of her fourth child, Joshua. Between Joshua's 111-day stay in the ICU ("NICU"), providing care for him, keeping her family together, and staying sane, she was living in constant crisis.

 

After much pain and struggle, Lisa rebelled against her despair, buckled down, and resolved to make sense of the confusing world of overseeing the care of a child with a genetic disorder. She used her gifts of tinkering and process improvement as tools for success.

 

What emerged from her resolve and determination is the system Lisa invented called the S5 Shield that breaks down managing life as a special needs family into a step-by-step process. The S5 Shield provides protection from disaster through a simplified, easy-to-learn format. She uses her system every day to keep chaos under control and maintain stability for herself, Joshua, and Team Greer.

 

Living Fierce allows readers to walk side by side with Lisa as she courageously shares her experiences while teaching the S5 Shield system. With the tools the Shield System teaches, readers will be positioned and informed to succeed at life as a special needs family ("Specialfam").

 

If you, a loved one, or someone you know is struggling to cope with the personal and resource challenges that come with caring for someone with special needs, Living Fierce can help. This book is designed to pull those affected back from the edge of emotional despair and provide a proven road map from chaos to stability.
