Season 2 begins with a story that will stay with you. Today, Johanna and Peter sit down with Dylan, a first-time mom whose daughter, Freya, was born with a congenital limb difference called longitudinal radial deficiency—a rare condition where the forearm bones don't fully develop. From the shock of her diagnosis at the 20-week ultrasound to finding healing through therapy, family support, and the Lucky Fin Project, Dylan's story is one of raw honesty, fierce love, and learning to give yourself grace in the midst of uncertainty. Dylan shares the moment a doctor called her baby's missing forearm "a cosmetic issue", the heartbreak of watching her newborn strapped to a medical table, and the relief of discovering she wasn't alone. Through every twist, Dylan's voice reminds parents everywhere that compassion for ourselves and for one another is an essential part of the healing process.
