## Resource

In this first part of a two-part conversation, Erin Forward sits down with pediatric gastroenterologist Dr. Jordan Whatley . Not just as a colleague, but as a trusted collaborator and friend. This episode is rooted in shared values: humility, curiosity, and the belief that healthcare works best when it is relational. Jordan speaks openly about his journey through medicine and podcasting, offering honest reflections on learning, making mistakes, and the responsibility providers carry when families place their trust in us. Together, Erin and Jordan explore what it means to be approachable in medical spaces, especially when families are navigating fear, uncertainty, and complex feeding and GI concerns. We hope this episode opens the door of more approachable and collaborative conversations between clinicians. providers, and caregivers. What stands out most in this conversation is Jordan’s willingness to be vulnerable, to name the emotional weight of pediatric care, the limits of any one discipline, and the power of interdisciplinary collaboration when providers truly listen to one another and to families. This episode honors the reality that parents are experts on their children, that dignity and respect matter, and that simple moments of affirmation — “we’re here with you” — can profoundly shape a family’s experience of care. Part 1 lays the foundation for a deeper exploration of collaboration and relationship-building in pediatric GI and feeding therapy, reminding us that before treatment plans and protocols, there is always a human relationship , and that relationship is where care begins.
