In this special episode of Resilience and Hope: A Food Allergy Podcast, host and food allergy mom Lesley-Anne Stone turns the mic toward home. Joined by her 12-year-old son, Sam, and guest host Amelia, an important voice in Sam’s life, this candid conversation offers a heartfelt and often humorous look at what it's really like to grow up with life-threatening food allergies—and what it means to finally live without fear.

Sam shares his earliest memories of treatment, the reality of feeling “different” at school, and how reaching remission changed his life—from school lunches to birthday parties to baseball snacks. You’ll also hear how his confidence has grown and what he wants other kids and parents to know about life after food allergies.

Whether you’re a food allergy parent, friend, or caregiver, this episode reminds us of the power of community, resilience, and the transformative power of the Tolerance Induction Program at Food Allergy Institute.
