Learn to listen to others too #PropionicAcidemia #usa

🙋🏻‍♀️Raise your hand if you are quick to close yourself off from new people in fear of maybe being let down, of being used, of being judged and the list goes on. 🧨Is there a risk in being burnt? Absolutely! I choose to focus on how people can help me grow in order to continue the impact I have to make in the lives of others.

They’re questioning each other’s studies, pressing to gain more information, debating on best practices. This would normally sound like a nightmare, but I’m in heaven. As a mom to two children with propionic acidemia, it’s music to my ears to [...]
