207: Season 12 Finale | Switching Hosts, Behind the Scenes + A Unanimous Favorite

from The Rare Life · host Madeline Cheney

Season 12 is coming to a close, and it’s been a season of big shifts. With Alyssa stepping in to host every episode and Madeline handling more behind-the-scenes projects, the podcast sounded a little different, but still hit all the same emotional notes. We also covered some especially heavy community topics, from family planning to marriage to familial rejection, which shaped the tone of the season in a really meaningful way.In this finale episode, we’re sharing a quick look behind the scenes of what Season 12 was actually like for us, plus a full recap of the season through all the intro clips. We’re also playing three listener takeaways, where Cary, Meghan, and Michelle share the episodes that resonated with them most this season.And finally, we’re giving you a little peek at Season 13 on the topic of our children’s disabilities, including long-requested topics like the NICU experience and how moms and dads are taken seriously (or not) in medical settings.Thank you for listening, supporting Sticker Club, and being part of this community. We can’t wait to be back with you in January.Links:Join The Rare Life newsletter andnever miss an update!Fill out our contact form to joinupcoming discussion groups!Follow us on Instagram @the_rare_life!Donateto the podcast or Contactme about sponsoring an episode.Follow the Facebook page.
