Rather than wait until my book is published, I have decided to help as many people as I can learn all the things I wish I knew when I was a first-time mom of a baby with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. 
First of many podcasts.

Interview with Azzy

Are you a new mom that just found out her baby will have a cleft palate? Are you a new dad that is struggling with the news? Maybe you have already been through this and just need some support. Even if you have a cleft palate and just want to feel less alone, this podcast is for you. This podcast episode has some great information and tips for new parents.

What now?

I share in this episode, how I was able to change my perspective. Just because a doctor says they don't think you'll be able to do something, doesn't mean that is the case. Please let me know what you are thinking about. I can't wait to hear from you.

Healthy Perspective

How can we improve speech therapy? What are your thoughts about it? How can we teach our children that there is no such thing as normal and we are all unique individuals? What is the best way to support our children when they are developing communication skills?

Speech Therapy

Be Grateful

Dealing with appointments and different medical professionals can be overwhelming. Here's how I deal with it. Have you found something helpful?

Staying Organized

It's ok to feel bad. But then what? Are you worried that your child will develop serious long term issues with all of the medical things they have to go through while correcting the cleft palate? How do you cope? Here's my take on it.

Emotional Health

Do you struggle with timidity? Do you hate getting in front of people and speaking your mind? Are you tired of being a follower and know there's a leader hidden deep in your soul? Here's how Toastmasters has been a huge benefit to my life.

Toastmasters is for everyone

I used to hate my face. I share the things that have helped me find a way to accept myself as I am and loving who I am, scars and all!

Will I ever love my face
