Description

Trigger Warning: This episode contains sensitive discussions about a child who drowned. (The child is alive and continuing to heal.)

In today’s heartfelt episode, Mary Martinez and Tayler Burcham share their personal journeys navigating unexpected medical challenges with their children. Mary opens up about her daughter’s diagnosis journey — a path that required persistence, second opinions, and learning to be her child's strongest advocate.

Tayler shares the emotional and ongoing healing process after her child’s near-drowning accident and how their family has walked through the waves of recovery. Both women offer honest, vulnerable insight into the realities of parenting through medical trauma — and why advocating for your child is one of the most important things you can do. If you’re a parent walking through fear, uncertainty, or long healing journeys, this conversation reminds you: you are not alone, and there is hope.
