From The Heart: The HeartKids Podcast
Join us as we explore stories of Australians impacted by childhood-onset heart disease (CoHD) - including congenital heart disease.
We'll tackle the big issues - what it's like receiving a new diagnosis, preparing for open-heart surgery, looking after your mental health, and much more. The show features cardiologists and experts sharing their knowledge about the topics you want to know more about. This show is for anyone impacted by CoHD - parents, carers, family members, friends, and those of us living with CoHD.
Your hosts are Rachael Knowles, a young adult with CoHD, and Sami Glastonbury, a mother of two children with CoHD.
From The Heart is brought to you by HeartKids, the only national not-for-profit solely focused on supporting and advocating for all people impacted by CoHD.

What Pregnancy Is Like When You Have A Congenital Heart Condition... Tegan's Story
What is pregnancy like when you have a congenital heart condition?
Tegan had a Fontan procedure as a child. She's now 34 years old and a mother of three. Her experience of pregnancy has been different each time, and not always smooth, but each time it's been made possible through the support and careful guidance of her cardiology and health care team.
