Description

Our fierce love for our children is our superpower—it’s what makes us just what they need! But love can also be a double-edged sword of joy and agony.
Listen to this episode to find out how my son’s neurosurgeon reacted when I showed him a homemade cervical collar—a medical device to protect his spine from compression, an extremely dangerous complication.
Love can push us out of our comfort zone and have us attempting the seemingly impossible—whether that is in the form of advocating for our children, or simply choosing to get out of bed.
We are enough. Our love for our children is enough.

This is the real, raw, and all the feels of loving a child with disabilities. Episodes feature parent-guests, professionals, and solo episodes with host Madeline Cheney. Their authentic conversations don’t shy away from the strong and mixed emotions that often accompany medically-complex parenting. Parents listen in to feel seen, validated, and receive much-needed solidarity. Professionals working with disabled people listen in to better understand what is often going on under the surface for a family living with disabilities.
