On this episode of BloodStream—our plasma donation series continues with a powerful second installment featuring donor Hannah and the story behind what it really means to give.

We've also got a packed lineup: a look at momentum building at the WFH World Congress, policy progress led by State Senator Joseph Addabbo supporting families with rare disorders, and new momentum in storytelling as Sanofi backs additional documentaries spotlighting rare blood conditions.

Plus, we dig into the bigger picture—how bleeding disorders impact entire families, the role creativity plays when navigating physical limitations, and the isolation that can come with not knowing someone who shares your experience.

And don't miss a spotlight on The Red Ink Project and their virtual screening of Dismissed, a film bringing long-overdue visibility to women and girls with bleeding disorders.

All that and more—this is BloodStream.

In this special partnered episode of the BloodStream Podcast, hosts Patrick James Lynch and Amy Board speak with hematologist Dr. Tami Singleton about hemophilia A and B with inhibitors, a complex condition that changes how bleeding episodes are treated. Dr. Singleton explains what inhibitors are, why they develop, and how they impact clotting and everyday life for patients and families. The conversation also explores SEVENFACT, a recombinant factor VIIa bypassing agent, including how it works and what patients should know about dosing and treatment planning.

This year marks 100 years since von Willebrand disease (vWD) was first described, and on this episode of BloodStream we take a closer look at how far the field has come.

Our beloved hosts, Patrick and Amy happily welcome Dr. Nathan Connell, hematologist and leading expert in bleeding disorders, for a conversation about the past, present, and future of vWD. Together they explore how our understanding of the condition has evolved since its discovery, the challenges that remain in diagnosis and care, and why awareness still matters for the millions of people worldwide living with vWD.

From early clinical observations to modern treatment approaches, Dr. Connell reflects on the milestones that have shaped care over the last century—and what the next hundred years could hold.

Plus, a preview of what's coming next on BloodStream as we approach World Hemophilia Day.

Bleeding disorders aren't just medical conditions — they're lived experiences shaped by resilience, community, and support. On this episode of BloodStream Podcast, Patrick James Lynch sits down with the WFH working group to explore why psychosocial care matters just as much as medicine and how human connections help people thrive.

Rocky Williams joins to share the power of positivity and what it truly means to be more than "fine," inspiring the bleeding disorders community to dream bigger, aim higher, and embrace life fully. We also break down a major shift in gene therapy: BioMarin's decision to pull Roctavian from the market, what it means for patients, and why preserving critical clinical data is essential for ongoing research and safety.

Tune in for a conversation that blends science, mindset, and community — because living with bleeding disorders is about more than treatments, it's about life itself.
