Description

Erica has been on both sides of the road—she grew up with medical complexities and now mothers two children with medical complexities. In this episode, she shares how this unique perspective has influenced her parenting and given her greater compassion for the struggles her mom faced.
She advises us in touchy subjects like ableism and oversharing while also emphasizing the importance of our imperfect love for our children. This episode is all about the parent-child relationship and celebrates that unconditional love and all the efforts we make on their behalf.

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.
