  • Cooper’s Journey with Severe Hemophilia

    Cooper’s story was pretty intense! Cooper’s brave mama, Sammy gave in-depth insight into his unexpected medical journey of having a bleeding disorder know as Hemophilia. This is a story many parents can relate to and learn from. Also I noticed how Katie gently and skillfully guided this interview with great care!

    This podcast has been an incredible source of support for me as a caregiver to a medically complex child post–kidney transplant. The stories shared are honest, compassionate, and deeply relatable, and the practical tips have helped me feel less alone and more grounded in an otherwise overwhelming journey. Truly inspiring and meaningful.
