Presenter
Welcome to the Brave Together Podcast: Support and Community for Caregiving Parents! We are a heartfelt extension of the nonprofit We Are Brave Together, founded by Jessica Patay, a rare disease mom, community builder, and advocate for caregiving mothers of children with disabilities, neurodiversity, and complex medical or mental health needs.
Hosted by Jessica Patay, Susanna Peace Lovell, life coach and autism advocate, and Dr. Zoe Shaw, licensed psychotherapist and relationship coach, the Brave Together Podcast invites listeners into an honest, compassionate, and empowering space designed for those navigating the highs and lows of caregiving.
Each episode reflects a profound commitment to the mental health of caregivers by offering educational tools and compassionate storytelling. Wherever you are in the world, tune in and know that you are NOT alone.
