Lessons From Our Mothers

💬 “I got the worst luck medically, but all the luck getting her as my mum” ~ Tilly Rose
🌸 This week, Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson are joined by author and chronic illness advocate, Tilly Rose, whose life was saved by a mother who refused to stop searching for answers long after doctors had given up.
🌸 For nearly 20 years, Tilly lived as a medical mystery. As her health deteriorated and clinicians failed to find a diagnosis, she was eventually placed on end-of-life care. It was an ending her mum simply would not accept. In this powerful conversation, Tilly shares how her mother made it her life’s work to solve her case, ultimately helping uncover a rare diagnosis after a viral social media post changed everything.
