Thankyou

I am a first time listener and it just happened to be the Eps where you had Lauren Peterson on discussing her rare skin condition, this is very close to me as I have a 7 year old with a very rare skin condition called Ichthyosis Confetti. To hear Lauren speak about how she is finally comfortable in her own skin is wonderful and as a mum all I hope is that my beautiful girls has the strength Lauren has. X
