Every medical family’s story looks different. What connects us on this road is the love that keeps choosing connection along the way.

You don’t have to walk it alone.

To the person currently holding 100 "invisible" tabs open in their brain... this one is for you.
If you’re feeling drained tonight, even after the PJs are on and the hair is down—I see you. You’re doing an incredible job, even when it feels like you’re just barely holding the pieces together.

Drop a "Relatable" in the comments if you’re carrying a heavy load today. Let’s remind each other we aren’t doing this alone. 👇

The hardest part is pretending you’re fine when you’re not. When you can open up, connection grows. If you hide, that loneliness deepens. The Medical Parent Network was made so you never have to fake it. All of you is welcome here.

I don’t hike to escape my family or our reality. I hike to come back more grounded. Stronger. More myself. Caregiving takes endurance, and so does walking a trail. In different ways, they’ve taught me the same lesson: keep going, even when the path is uneven.

Moments of connection matter, especially when life feels clinical, complicated, or uncertain. The Medical Parent Network exists so that no parent has to hold it all alone.
Because support shouldn’t be another thing you have to fight for.

CEO energy, intern pay. 📁✨ Some weeks we’re organized, some weeks we’re practicing 'selective filing' (aka ignoring it). Which season are you in right now?

As Medical Parents it can feel like we always have to be stronger, or we're not being strong enough. The truth is you're stronger than you think, and you're strong everyday. Even when it feels impossible, like you have nothing in the tank. Remember, sometimes being gentle with yourself is the strongest thing you can do.

You learn quickly that ordinary outings come with hidden questions: Do I have enough supplies? What’s the nearest urgent care? Should I bring extra meds?

That constant readiness wears on your heart.

Mindfulness and breathing space help me reset. How do you find peace in the chaos? Let me know in the comments below.

We survive on tiny victories. 🕊️

When you’re navigating the medical world, the "heavy" days are real.

That’s why we have to hold onto the small wins with everything we’ve got. They are the reminders that we’re doing a great job, even when it’s hard.

Whether it’s making that follow-up call, organizing the med cabinet, or just finding five minutes of peace: a win is a win. I’m celebrating an updated med chart today.

What are you celebrating? Let’s share our wins in the comments below 👇

It’s wild how many hats you wear: parent, nurse, secretary, insurance negotiator. That’s the reality. If you try to do it all, you burn out. If you share the load, you breathe again. I started the Medical Parent Network to share resources that help lighten your load. Start with my free ebook at the link in my bio. You belong here 💜

For a long time, caregiving left very little room for anything else.

Hiking wasn’t about fitness goals or conquering trails. It became a quiet way back to myself.

Nature didn’t ask me to explain our medical life or justify my exhaustion. It just let me move at my own pace, breathe deeply, and remember that I still had a body capable of strength and joy.
