EP55 – Rare Mamas Rising- Plugging Into the Rare Community

In this special Rare Disease Day episode of Rare Mamas Rising, Nikki McIntosh reads the chapter “Plugging Into the Rare Community” from her book Rare Mamas: Empowering Strategies for Navigating Your Child’s Rare Disease and reflects on what Rare Disease Day has taught her as a rare disease mom. This heartfelt episode explores the power of the rare disease community, the importance of caregiver support, and why connection among rare moms can change the way we carry even the hardest seasons of rare disease parenting. Whether you are newly navigating a diagnosis or years into your caregiving journey, this episode offers encouragement, validation, and a reminder that no rare mama was meant to do this alone.
