In this episode of Two Blondes and Diapers, we dive deep into the world of medical advocacy. From standing our ground in intimidating hospital hallways to battling our own insecurities, we’re sharing our real-life stories, the lessons we’ve learned, and the moments we found our voices. Whether you’re just starting your journey or have been in the trenches for years, this episode is a reminder that no one knows your child better than you and your voice matters. Grab your coffee, pull up a seat, and let’s talk about what it really takes to advocate like a mother.
So much of parenting is wrapped up in charts, checklists, and timelines—first words, first steps, first everything. But what happens when your child’s path looks completely different? In this episode, we’re talking about life beyond the milestones: why we’re done with comparison, how we’ve learned to celebrate progress in our own way, and the beauty of seeing our kids for who they are, not just what they achieve. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of “keeping up” or the sting of watching other kids hit milestones your child hasn’t, this conversation is for you. Pull up a seat and lets chat!
For most families, summer means carefree days, vacations, and long hours by the pool. But for caregivers like us, summer looks very different. In this episode, we’re talking about what summer break really looks like when carrying the emotional load of raising a child with a disability doesn’t take a vacation. We’ll share our own experiences of how summer has challenged us, surprised us, and even gifted us unexpected moments of joy in the chaos. Summer is complicated for caregivers so it's worth a conversation. Pull up a seat and let's talk about it.
New school year means all the feels for families like ours. Back-to-school season is always bittersweet because there is comfort in routines but it's hard to turn over our most vulnerable children to someone else. We are sharing our own experiences with the transitions, navigating friendships and peers, IEP's and the emotional gut-punch of watching our kids walk (or roll) into a world that doesn't fully understand them This one is for the parents with butterflies in their stomachs and a mountain of paperwork in their bag. You've got this-and we've got you! Follow us @twoblondesanddiapers on Instagram. We would love to hear from you!
Every disability parent remembers it: the moment everything changed. In this episode we are sharing our personal "Diagnosis Day" stories-how we found out our children had Autism and Spina Bfida, what those moments felt like, and the emotional rollercoaster that followed. Shock, grief, denial, anger, and the overwhelming feeling of "What now?" Its raw, honest, and messy but its real. If you have been through it, are in it right now, or are bracing for the unknown-you're not alone. Pull up a chair and let's talk about the days and the words that changed everything.
