Stronger Together

Building Community at Meetings on the Road with Dr. Whitley Grant-Goodman

Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts

What if the strongest form of advocacy wasn’t a protest—but a shared story around a table? In this special Boundless B conversation, we explore how showing up, connecting, and supporting one another can be the most powerful act of all.

Dr. Whitley Grant-Goodman, licensed clinical mental health counselor and addiction specialist, joins us to reflect on her recent session at the Coalition for Hemophilia B’s Meetings on the Road event in Charlotte, NC. Together with host Kai M Sorensen, they explore how the power of shared experience, caregiver validation, and accessible advocacy can create life-changing community moments. Whether you’ve been managing Hemophilia B for decades or are new to the journey, this episode reminds you: You are not alone—and the community is waiting with open arms.
