As parents taking care of disabled and medically complex kids, we could probably use a little more help and support than the average person... But that doesn’t make it easy to ask for it.From guilt to societal pressure to simply not having anyone you can trust for support, we’re digging into why help is just so hard to ask for.

Single Medical Parenting w/ Danielle (Summer Mini #8)

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.
