In today’s episode, hosts Brianna Baskerville and Brian Gallegos sit down with Chelsea Weller, an incredible mother and advocate, to share the inspiring story of her daughter, Amelia. Despite facing the daily challenges of hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and complex GI issues, five-year-old Amelia fills every room with light, resilience, and joy.

Chelsea opens up about navigating the unpredictable world of medical care, celebrating even the smallest victories, and the strength she’s found within herself and her family. You’ll hear about the impact Amelia’s journey has had on their family dynamics, the crucial support they’ve received from Wichita’s Littlest Heroes, and the importance of community during life’s toughest moments.

Plus, we spotlight Rental Ranch—our episode sponsor—and explore their commitment to supporting families like Chelsea’s throughout Wichita. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that, even in the most difficult circumstances, hope, connection, and joy can always be found. Let’s dive in!
