Mom on a Mission: The Founding of Standing Up to POTS

This episode features a conversation between Cathy Pederson, the founder of Standing Up to POTS (SUTP), and her daughter Kate, discussing the motivation and circumstances leading to the formation of the organization. The conversation focuses on the personal story of the Pederson family, particularly their experiences before and after Lily, another family member, was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The discussion highlights the impact of POTS on family dynamics and the challenges of balancing the needs of all children in a family when one child has a chronic illness. This episode is particularly poignant and informative for families who find themselves navigating the complexities of similar health conditions and looking for support in managing family life around them.
