Heart Dad - Love for Our Family is What Carries Us Through
Kevin Newbern details his experience as a rare disease & heart dad — an intimate look into life, love, and disability parenting.
Kristyn is joined by her loving husband and proud father of Luke and Ozzie, Mr. Kevin Newbern. It is incredibly rare to see or hear the father’s perspective on life as a rare disease parent. Kevin shares his story, thoughts, and feelings on life as a Heart Dad. As they explain throughout this episode, becoming a parent to a child with a life-threatening health condition transforms you, and that transformation isn’t always easy. It is full of fear, sadness, discomfort, and uncertainty - all rooted in the profound love for your child. It's that same love that helps us to persevere on.

The Best of Friends, Growing Together Through Thick and Thin
Inclusive parenting, insightful advice for friends of parents facing a different parenting journey, and a heartfelt thanks to the friends who never stop showing up.
Kristyn Newbern is joined by two close friends, Alice and Lauren, who share what it was like to support their friends through a difficult prognosis. They discuss how this experience has shaped their approach to inclusive parenting and the challenges they anticipate facing as their children continue to grow up together. They also provide some insightful advice to other friends and family members who may find themselves trying to show support from the sidelines. And finally, Kristyn shares a heartfelt letter to her friends, which I think will resonate with many parents of children with rare diseases and disabilities.
