Special: Navigating the healthcare system with Mandy and Kate from Too Peas in a Podcast

When you're a parent or carer of a child or children in need of lots of medical care, the healthcare system can be both a saviour and a source of frustration.
Kate Jones and Mandy Hose, hosts of the popular Too Peas in a Podcast, know just what it's like to deal with the trauma of diagnosis, being overloaded with medical information and being there for their children through it all.
In this episode Kate and Mandy join Dr Lexi Frydenberg and Dr Anthea Rhodes, to share their journey of coping with and conquering adversity, of rallying friends and professionals around them, and of being strong advocates for their children. Their stories are powerful examples for any mum, dad or carer.
