Most Helpful Podcast for Medical Parents

There are a few really good medical parent podcasts out there, but Cortney’s stands apart from the rest. Her commitment to providing parents with actual tools to feel better is outstanding. While others focus on validating the caregiver’s tough and unique experience above all else, Cortney expertly weaves that validation and compassion into topics that I believe serve a greater purpose: accepting the life you’ve been given and growing within it. She’s no nonsense, down to earth, authentic, and her episodes are void of pie-in-the-sky thinking or overreligious rhetoric. One of her overarching messages is “Your feelings are your responsibility” and I believe this is a game changer for many families dealing with complex medical needs. Thank you, Cortney!

Highly recommend for medical moms!

I wish I had all the words to explain how much this podcast has changed me. I found Cortney’s Instagram and podcast very early in my medical motherhood days. This podcast, and coaching with Cortney, have helped me process and grieve, while also enjoying this life as a medical mom and just as a human.

Like listening to your inner voice of reason

As a medical mom I appreciate every aspect of this podcast. I feel like she’s inside my head and knows exactly what I’m feeling and thinking. Even if I’m not ready to take the plunge with her advice on everything is does make me feel like I’m not alone or crazy for feeling the way I feel. If you feel lost with processing your child’s reality I can’t recommend this enough and if you have someone in your life who is a medical mom it will be helpful for you too so you can get a little glimpse inside their mind.
