In this episode, we explore hope as more than just optimism- as a mindset that can be built, practiced, and sometimes rediscovered when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Ann, who shares strategies and insights from her journey as a relentless advocate for her daughter. From building partnerships to moving through advocacy, growth, and resilience, this conversation honours not just the successes but the doubts too- and invites listeners to find strength in both.
