We Made it: Seasons of Rest and Showing Up When We Can
After a few months away, I’m back — and I want to talk about what that pause really meant. In this episode, I open up about the quiet seasons, the ones that don’t look like growth but still hold so much strength. From learning to juggle work and caregiving to navigating an extended hospital stay for Silas’s spinal fusion, this episode is about rediscovering balance, resilience, and grace in the chaos. Whether you’re in a season of burnout, healing, or just hanging on, this is your reminder that showing up when you can is enough.

14 Years of Silas: Milestones, Memories, and the Mixed Emotions of Another Birthday
In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on my son Silas’s 14th birthday—a milestone that, at times, felt out of reach. I open up about what it’s really like to celebrate birthdays when you’re raising a medically complex child—the joy, the grief, the quiet wins, and the invisible weight. From the incredible adventures Silas has had, to the difficult realities we’re currently facing, this episode is for every parent navigating a different kind of childhood. Whether you're celebrating your child’s milestones in unconventional ways or mourning what you hoped would be, I see you. I hope this story brings comfort, connection, and a reminder that you are never alone on this journey.
