We know it's been a little while since we've posted on here so we really appreciate your patience. Part of what we talk about is balancing a rare disease with living a "normal" life and sometimes that means some things get put on the back burner. But we're back! So thanks for sticking around.
Hear all the things we've been up to and all the changes that we've brought into 2021, as well as some exciting opportunities we have coming up!

CW: Mention of mental health challenges & suicidal ideation
In this episode, we dig into the ways social media has helped and hindered the chronic illness & rare disease community, the ways in which we can seek support and the risk of getting caught up in the toxicity of social media as a whole.
We would love for this to be a dialogue of sorts so feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments! This is definitely one of our heavier episodes thus far, so thank you for giving us the space to share our thoughts and our journey.

We got so many good questions for our mom before our last episode that we wanted another chance to answer some of them. In this episode, we dig a little deeper in navigating the healthcare world as a new mom and as a family. Our mom also talks about the incredible advocacy work she's done on behalf of families with children who have special health care needs.

In this episode, we host our first guest: our mom! She helps us answer some of your questions about our childhood and what it was like to raise two daughters with complex medical needs. It was a lot of fun reminiscing so we didn't get to every question, but she'll definitely be back for a part 2! Stay tuned!
