I chat with my daughter, Carly about our 6-7 year journey to healing her from a slew of physical and neurological symptoms she suddenly and mysteriously started presenting at a young age. After appointments with more than 50 different doctors, we still had no answers as to what was making her ill.

Together, we talk about this difficult period of time for us, offer perspective from both the parental standpoint and the ailing child's view, and give strategies for empowering your child or self through a similarly difficult journey.

Carly offers 3 insightful tips for empowerment during a time that can often times leave you feeling helpless. She reflects on how parents can support and validate their children and when to listen to your gut and intuition above all else.
