In this episode of Parenthood Unscripted, I sit down with Dr. Anne McIntosh to talk about growing up deaf, advocacy, and resilience. She shares her experience navigating a hearing world without full access, the power of high expectations, and how problem-solving becomes a lifelong strength.

We also dive into communication barriers in healthcare, the inspiration behind Clear Masks, and why trusting your instincts as a parent matters more than anything.
