Born for This Stories started with one diagnosis, but this movement is about so much more.
In this heartfelt episode, Johanna and Peter pull back the curtain on the why behind the podcast. What began as a story about their son’s rare condition has quickly evolved into a mission to support all parents navigating unexpected diagnoses, medical systems, and the silent grief no one prepares you for.
Whether your child’s journey has a name or you're still searching for answers, this episode is for every parent who’s ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or dismissed in the process of advocating for their child.
In this episode:
The bigger mission behind Born for This Stories
Why we’re not just talking about hypospadias
Common threads across rare conditions, delays, and birth trauma
Why asking more questions doesn’t make you difficult, it makes you a strong parent
How to share your story (even anonymously) and help someone else process and heal
💬 “Maybe your trauma doesn’t have a diagnosis. But if you’ve ever Googled in the dark or felt unseen in a doctor’s office, this space is for you.”
