  • What Deafness Teaches Us About Parenting & Resilience
    May 1 2026

    In this episode of Parenthood Unscripted, I sit down with Dr. Anne McIntosh to talk about growing up deaf, advocacy, and resilience. She shares her experience navigating a hearing world without full access, the power of high expectations, and how problem-solving becomes a lifelong strength.

    We also dive into communication barriers in healthcare, the inspiration behind Clear Masks, and why trusting your instincts as a parent matters more than anything.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • Growing up deaf in a mainstream setting
    • The importance of high expectations
    • Advocacy and trusting your gut as a parent
    • Communication barriers and accessibility
    • The power of resilience and problem-solving
