In this episode of The Long Road Podcast, host Lisa McKelvey sits down with Karlie Ross from Toowoomba, QLD, to discuss her family’s deeply personal journey through childhood trauma.
Karlie and her husband, Mason, faced an unimaginable challenge when their daughter, Ellie, was diagnosed with Leukemia just before her second birthday. At the same time, they were navigating the complexities of raising their son, Leo, who has non-verbal autism outside the home. Through it all, they’ve fought to find balance in a world they never expected to be part of.
Karlie is a deep thinker and passionate advocate who has turned her family's hardship into a mission. She is currently researching the effects of Paediatric Medical Trauma Stress on children and how educators can empower themselves through the use of stories to support young students experiencing ongoing trauma.
Karlie’s resilience, insight, and dedication to helping others make this a must-listen conversation.
