Donna first discovered homeopathy after her young son struggled with a health issue that conventional medicine couldn’t resolve, an experience that eventually led her to pursue it as a career. We talked about childhood illness, fevers, knowing when medical care is needed, and how parents can feel more confident when making health decisions. Donna also shared her thoughts on rebuilding community support and navigating difficult conversations around vaccination and health across generations.
