Some episodes will focus on open and honest discussions about Crohn's disease from a caregiver and patient perspective. We will talk to others with IBD, chronic illnesses, and life changing situations people have learned to navigate. Hosted by a mom and son duo who had their lives flipped upside down with a severe Crohn's disease diagnosis. They are living their best lives and helping others survive and thrive by creating awareness and finding empowerment.
