Our First Rodeo

Join Lauren and Tara as they chat about life updates and answer your questions from their Q+A Instagram stories. They discuss advocating out in public, when they started to feel more confident making decisions, Channings's Joy events, Peace Love Autism updates and more! Today's episode is sponsored by Aeroflow Urology . Aeroflow Urology believes that high-quality incontinence products should be accessible and affordable for all. With this belief in mind, they work to break down the barriers to convenient and reliable care by fighting for you so that you and your loved ones receive the highest-grade incontinence supplies for free through your insurance plan. They offer a range of medical-grade incontinence supplies, such as adult briefs, adult protective underwear, pediatric diapers, pediatric pull-ups, and other supplemental items that may be covered by your Medicaid or Medicaid-managed care plan. Send us a textInstagram: @ourfirstrodeo_podcast
