Welcome to the Joy In the Journey podcast! My name is Jamie Freedlund, and I’m the host of the show and Co-Founder of Mattea’s Joy, a non-profit organization that helps families with hospitalized children.
I know firsthand what it means to be the parent of a sick kid, and the challenges that go with it, as my daughter, Mattea Joy, was born with several severe medical complications.
My husband and I were given a very small chance that Mattea would survive at birth. Thankfully, we were able to share nine and a half wonderful months with her that we didn't expect to have. This experience led to a deep level of gratitude, shifting our lives as a result, and allowing us to discover joy in every day—even the tough ones.
Through this podcast, my hope is to help other families going through similar struggles and to remind them that they’re not alone.
Please join me as I share beautiful stories from resilient human beings who managed to find strength during life's darkest moments. And remember, life will bring unexpected circumstances, but choosing joy makes all the difference.
