Description

Karley has always dealt with anxiety. But as is the case for many of us, her mental health took a turn for the worse when her daughter Nora was born. Because of the medical trauma that ensued for the whole family, she now deals with night terrors, panic attacks, and depression as well.
In this episode, Karley shares how she copes with these things while caring for her daughters. She also shares the difficulty of therapy, accepting a diagnosis of PTSD, and seeing her six-year-old daughter struggle with her own mental health.

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.
