Ep 33: Parenting w/ Chronic Illness, Universal Healthcare and UK’s ‘Stiff Upper Lip’
COVID is tough to navigate either way, but with 4 chronic illnesses, it’s another story! Add parenting and, well, wow! I was very grateful Amy took the time to share her story with me this week.
We also compare healthcare systems, talk about parenting and I have to admit, I asked about the royals... Pretty interesting stuff, me thinks.
