Send us Fan MailOne phone call can flip your whole world. We start with real life and real laughs, then move into the kind of story that makes your stomach drop: what happens when a school says your child had a medical emergency, but the timeline and the paperwork don’t match what you know to be safe care.We talk about why families choose no contact, why the “but they’re your parents” line misses the point, and how breaking generational trauma often looks like setting boundaries that others don’t understand. We also get honest about modern distraction, screen time at the dinner table, bullying on social media, and the hard truth that “talk to your kids” only works when adults slow down and truly listen.From there we dig into healthcare access and patient advocacy: long waits for specialists, rushed appointments, and how the system can accidentally funnel people toward unsafe answers. Then Victoria tells the full Faith story from a parent-advocate lens, including IEP details, school accountability, documentation, and why staying calm can be your sharpest tool when everything is on the line.If you care about special needs parenting, IEP meetings, school safety, teen mental health, patient rights, and protecting your peace, this conversation will stick with you.
