Welcome to the 1-year anniversary of Pediatric Meltdown! It’s been a year since I started this podcast, but I am only getting more addicted to it. This podcast has allowed me to do something that I really enjoy and made me realize that I love talking with people. Specifically, I love having conversations where we can just be in our genuine selves. 

Join me today as I look back on the past 52 weeks and reflect on the countless conversations and moments I shared with my guests. As we start another year, may we find hope and courage to face all challenges and celebrate our wins with the people we love dearly.
