Description
Starting off season two, Katrina chats with her friend Haley Brunelle about her journey as a “medical mom” to her incredible eight-year-old son, Felix. They dive into the world of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), the daily hurdles of navigating healthcare systems, and why Haley is so passionate about giving Felix the best shot at an independent life. It’s a heartfelt, funny, and deeply honest look at finding community and ditching the ableist filters we often put on ourselves.
