Description

Hi, we're Tom and Kat Hansen! In 2014 our son Harding was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease, and since then we've experienced the ups and downs that come along with being a CHD parent. In this podcast we share some of the lessons we've learned along the way, and the things we wish we knew at the start of our CHD journey. We also talk to CHD experts to get their stories of hope, encouraging insights, and valuable resources to give parents like us the right help at the right time. You can find us at www.tomandkathansen.com and @tomandkathansen on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter!
