Maybe This Will Be The Cure22 Feb 2024

Welcome! | Connection in Shared Experiences

Welcome to the first episode of "Maybe This Will Be The Cure"! I'm your host, Megan, and this podcast is a space to talk about navigating chronic pain, mental health, and the unique experience of parenting neurodivergent children.

If you've ever felt that unmistakable nudge to speak up in a crowded room, you'll understand the mix of excitement and nervousness I'm feeling right now. But I’ve been blessed by others willing to share their stories, so picture me, tucked away in my dimly-lit closet, pouring my heart out into the mic.

From PDA Autism to unschooling to Type 1 Diabetes to exploring different healing modalities and more, I'm sharing my experiences, hoping to connect, and, just maybe, find a bit of healing along the way.

In this episode I'll discuss:

Why I'm starting a podcast
The power of sharing our stories
What to expect from this podcast
The realities of making choices between imperfect options
My nuanced view of health and wellness

So, grab a comfy seat, and let's dive into the candid conversations that make life's challenges a little more manageable and help us feel a little less alone. Because maybe this will be the cure.
