Stories of Hope: "We don't have to have a medical degree to advocate for our babies"
Send us a text, we want to hear from you!
Fellow mama of a beautiful child with medical complexities, Ashley Milbourne shares her incredible insights to two questions we posed:
- Given what you’ve gone through with your child, what is one thing you wish you’d known at the beginning of your medical journey that you want to share with listeners now?
- What is an unexpected blessing or positive that’s come from this journey that you could not have imagined at the beginning of it?
She assures us, “we don’t have to have a medical degree to advocate for our babies”. She encourages us, “I can do this and you can too.” And, she reminds us, “kids are resilient!”
This is the first of several episodes highlighting guest parents and caregiver’s answers to these questions. You don’t want to miss her invaluable story of hope!
We kindly ask that you share this podcast with other families who might benefit from our insights and support. Additionally, please take a brief moment to leave a review on your preferred podcast platform, which helps us to reach as many families as possible who are navigating this challenging journey, so they can find our support circle and access the assistance they rightfully deserve. No one should walk this journey alone.
