When Life Doesn’t Give You a Break with Ashley Milbourne

Empowered by Hope

Advocating for our children can be a challenge, especially when we're trying to balance strength and vulnerability. Ashley Milbourne and I share our personal experiences with navigating advocacy, expectations, and vulnerability while striving to move forward in our advocacy journeys. We also delve into the topic of trusting others with our children's care, and the importance of recognizing when outside help is needed.
Parenting can be difficult, especially when dealing with a health condition or trauma. In this episode, Ashley and I explore the significance of having a support system, finding a safe person for support, and the power of connection and solidarity when taking our children to medical appointments.
Join us as we celebrate the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward on this journey of hope.
