About This Podcast
The Confident Mom Podcast is for moms who are done spiraling every time their kid gets sick.
Hosted by Mary Brooks, a pediatric PA-C, mom of three, and your new medical mom friend. Each episode teaches you to think through common childhood health situations the way a clinician does.
Not more information. A better framework.
You'll walk away knowing what's normal, what to watch for, when to go in — and why. So you can be the calm, clear mom in the room.
