When Amelia Lawrence’s son Leo was born with limited mobility, she didn’t know if he’d ever experience the simple joys other kids take for granted—like riding a bike or sitting comfortably at school. But everything changed when Leo was introduced to adaptive equipment designed specifically for his needs. In this episode, Amelia shares how tools like a custom-built tricycle and Chill-Out Chair have transformed Leo’s daily life, giving him freedom, comfort, and the ability to participate in the world around him.

“Self-care sounds great until you realize there’s no one else to watch your kid. When you’re a full-time caregiver, even basic things—like rest, a walk, or five minutes alone—feel impossible. But if I don’t take care of myself, I can’t show up for my family. That’s not selfish. That’s survival.”
