A new health update.
A bittersweet birthday.
A wink from Bella in the most unexpected place.
And a powerful new resource for medical families across Canada.
In this solo episode of Beyond Brave, I open up about life after my stage 3 kidney failure diagnosis and what’s shifted since my last update. I share the mix of emotions that came with celebrating Waylon’s 7th birthday, how grief shows up even in joy, and a beautiful sign from Bella that reminded me she’s still close. Finally, I introduce you to an incredible Health Canada–funded initiative that will change the way families of seriously ill children access support and care.
This one is heartfelt, raw, and filled with hope. Thank you for listening.
