Guest – Mel Nicol
Hosted by – Lisa McKelvey

In this episode, Mel shares what life was like raising four children while living remotely on Cubbie Station in Dirranbandi, QLD. Their journey took a complex turn when their youngest child, Will, was born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).

Mel speaks openly about the challenges, the heartbreak, and the strength it takes to be a medical mum — and how, at its core, it’s all about navigating and advocating for your child.
