This Valentine's week episode is all about love and heart. We are honoring Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Week and American Heart Month with a special episode featuring my dear friend Lauren Tonge. Lauren is the mother of a sweet boy named, Riley, who was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (born with half of a heart). Lauren shares about her discovery of this syndrome during pregnancy, the planning needed to arrange life saving cardiac surgeries, and the realities of raising a child with a congenital heart defect, especially amidst a pandemic.
