Hospital rooms are loud, overwhelming, and often filled with people who seem to know more than you. But here’s the truth: you are the expert on your child, your partner, your body — and your voice matters.
In this raw and honest conversation, Rachel and Shelby share personal stories from hospital stays that shaped them, broke them, and taught them what real advocacy looks like. From missed meds and middle-of-the-night decisions to learning when to speak up (and how), this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the medical world.
Whether you’re caring for a medically complex child or learning to advocate for yourself, you’ll walk away with practical tips, scripts, and a lot of solidarity.
💬 Let’s talk about the power of your gut instinct, the messiness of hospital life, and why asking the “dumb questions” might actually save the day.
