Born For This Stories

When Johanna and Peter's son was born, they were immediately met with the unexpected: a rare congenital diagnosis they had never heard of. This is the raw, vulnerable story of what came next.

From a home birth to navigating dismissive doctors, terrifying decisions, and finding their voice as holistic-minded parents, this episode lays the foundation for the entire Born for This Stories movement.

Whether you're parenting through the unimaginable or searching for a sign that you're not alone, you've found it.

In this episode:

• Their son being diagnosed and what came next

• Why they chose the long road over the "easy" one

• The emotional toll of medical decision-making

• Building a supportive space for families like yours

💬 "You were never meant to carry this alone. You were born for this."
