About this episode
If your child is facing a diagnosis, procedure, or hospitalization — you're not alone. Inside the Children's Hospital brings you real stories from parents who've walked this path. Not medical advice, but the kind of honest conversation you need when you're scared, exhausted, and looking for someone who gets it. I'm Katie Taylor, a Certified Child Life Specialist with 15 years supporting families through hard moments in pediatric healthcare. On this podcast, I interview caregivers who share what it's really like — the sleepless nights, the uncertainty, the small victories, the moments that break you and the ones that keep you going. You'll find yourself nodding along, regardless of your child's specific diagnosis. These are true lived experiences that remind you: other parents have felt this too, and there are ways through.
