Navigating the healthcare system with a child affected by PTSD is a journey brimming with highs and lows, which we've experienced firsthand with our daughter Faith. This special 200th episode of Unstoppable is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the compassion that can shine through in trying times. We share the raw emotions and the stark contrasts we've encountered - from the frustration with miscommunication during medical procedures to the profound gratitude for the healthcare professionals who exemplify empathy and understanding.

As we celebrate this milestone, our conversation takes a reflective turn on how society's advancements are shaping our identity and ethics. We discuss the fine line between technological innovation and personal autonomy, pondering the future of ocular devices connecting us to the internet and the moral conundrums they may present. We also tackle tough societal issues, including the criminal justice system's approach to child abuse, inviting you to engage in this crucial and complex dialogue.

Ending on a note of personal growth and community contribution, we open up about the joys and commitments of our Golden Retriever breeding program. Through stories of survival and healing, we highlight the courage it takes to overcome domestic abuse and the importance of advocating for one's safety and rights. Join us as we embrace the power of storytelling to heal, connect, and inspire positive change in this landmark episode of Unstoppable.
