For the last ten years, Cindy and Christina Hardin-Weiss showed up. They showed up for caregivers who did not know where to turn, for families navigating adaptive equipment for the first time, and for the 104,000 subscribers who found their YouTube channel and finally felt like someone understood. They never tried to sell anything. They just told the truth and trusted that the right people would find them. This episode is a celebration of what they built, a thank you for the decade they gave, and an introduction to where the community goes from here.
