This wasn’t the episode we planned to record.

We planned to film something completely different… and then an unexpected diagnosis changed that plan immediately.

In this episode, we share what we learned from a recent neuropsychology evaluation, what it felt like to hear words like “unlikely” and “plateau,” and how that kind of information lands in a marriage.

We talk honestly about fear.
About grief.
About advocacy.
About what it means to love your child fiercely while refusing to let a prognosis define them.

This conversation is raw, unplanned, and very real.

Everything has changed.
And somehow, so has our perspective.

In this episode of Resurface, Stephen and Rachel sit down to tell their story in their own words.

After a viral clip of our content was taken out of context and spread online, followed by harsh commentary and assumptions, we open the episode by briefly addressing the misinformation, judgment, and online backlash they experienced. Then, we intentionally move away from the noise to do something more importantly: let listeners actually get to know us.

We talk about their childhoods, how we met, the early years of our marriage, and the foundation of our relationship, long before medical trauma, caregiving, or life upheaval entered the picture. This episode is about context, humanity, and what’s lost when people are reduced to clips, comments, or assumptions.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood online, judged by strangers, or defined by a single moment, this conversation is for you.

Resurface is a podcast about marriage, resilience, identity, and rebuilding after life disruption, including family medical crises, caregiving, trauma, and the pressure of being visible on the internet. Episodes range from deep and reflective to honest, human, and even funny, but always real.

🎧 Topics in this episode:

• Online judgment and viral misinformation

• Marriage and early relationship stories

• Childhood experiences and identity

• Being misunderstood in public spaces

• Choosing humanity over commentary
