ABOUT THIS EPISODE

They open up about navigating early fears, grief, and major medical decisions, and how those challenges fueled their advocacy. You’ll hear how storytelling, community support, and visibility can transform the diagnosis experience for families.
Learn about Limb Love Library’s nationwide effort to donate curated inclusive books to schools and libraries, helping kids see themselves reflected with pride.
