As a caregiver to a child with PANDAS PANS, I open up about the emotional weight, the challenges of navigating broken systems, and the moment I realized I could not stay silent any longer. I talk about returning to school for counseling, supporting legislation for families like mine, and what it truly means to lead when the stakes are personal. This episode is about resilience, responsibility, and taking action when the system falls short. If you are carrying stress, advocating for your family, or searching for purpose through hardship, this conversation will remind you that leadership often begins in the middle of the struggle.
