Two mums. Two medical parenting journeys. One honest conversation about the reality of raising children through complex medical experiences. We’re two mums navigating the world of medical parenting — not as medical professionals, but as parents who have found ourselves living in a world of diagnoses, appointments, hospitals, uncertainty, advocacy and experiences we never expected to face. This is the conversation that happens after the appointment. In the car on the way home. In the hospital corridor. At 2am when you're searching for answers! And we will have some laughs along the way

    Episode 2: Part 2

    🎙️ EPISODE 2 — PART 2 In Part 2, we dive into one of the hardest parts of medical parenting — making decisions when there are no easy answers. What do you do when you’re faced with the choice between a surgical route or continuing down the medical path?  And then there’s the guilt. The guilt of making a decision that could cause your child pain. The constant questioning of whether you’re doing the right thing. The pressure of knowing that, ultimately, you’re the one making the call for them. We talk honestly about the emotional weight behind those decisions — the fear, the second-guessing, the hope, and the reality of parenting a child through medical treatment. Because sometimes being a parent means making an impossible choice and hoping you’ve made the right one. ❤️

    Episode 2: Part 1

    When your child is medically complex, grief can exist alongside the deepest love imaginable. It’s grieving the childhood you pictured, the milestones that look different, the freedom you once had, the version of motherhood you thought you’d experience — while fiercely loving the child in front of you. This is a space for the raw, complicated, beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking reality of raising a medically complex child. For the mums who spend their lives advocating, researching, scheduling, worrying, celebrating tiny wins and carrying more than most people will ever see. A place to talk about the grief, the guilt, the fear, the joy, the resilience — and everything in between.
