When your child is critically ill, one of the hardest things to accept is how little control you have. Many people go their whole lives without facing that kind of powerlessness. For medical parents, it’s reality. So how do you begin to accept that and still move forward?

In this episode, I talk with Molly Trexler—a pediatric nurse practitioner, medical mom, and founder of Heartstrings, a coaching practice for parents navigating complex medical journeys. Molly helps families find clarity, confidence, and peace in the chaos by blending her clinical and lived experience with compassionate emotional support.

Together, we discuss:

      • How to communicate effectively with      your child’s medical team, even when emotions run high

• Why preparation brings peace—and how to let go of the rest
• The everyday stressors that pile up (insurance, finances, siblings, logistics) and how coaching can help lighten the load
• The importance of accepting help and building a trusted circle of support
• The Four Ps that guide Molly’s work: Pardon, Power, Peace, and Purpose

“This is a time in your life where you have permission to say, ‘I need help,’ and ‘thank you.’ And that’s it.”

 I truly believe so many of us medical parents can benefit from this kind of thoughtful and informed support.
