Parenthood is a major life transition. Regardless of whether or not we are parents ourselves, understanding the challenges of parenting better equips us to support, parents, children, and families who are in our personal and professional lives.

In this episode, our hosts share the joys, challenges, expected and unexpected lessons of navigating parenthood. Drawing on their lived experience as parents working in healthcare, Monica and Julianne share their tips and strategies for supporting parents and children in the family’s healthcare journey. They discuss how we can and why we should aim to integrate resilience, deep listening, self-reflection and empathy in our interactions with parents and children alike.
