This law is crucial for ensuring students with disabilities, including those with food allergies, receive the medical support and accommodations they need at school. Francoeur helps us make sense of the current legal landscape, including why this lawsuit is on pause for now, what’s at stake for students with food allergies and other medical needs, and how the outcome could shape school-based accommodations across the country. 3 Action Steps You Can Take After Listening: Stay informed by revisiting our previous episode with Laurel, where we took a deeper dive into the legal rights of students with food allergies and explained key laws like the ADA and 504 in more detail. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2371319/episodes/15860506 Blog — The Allergy Lawyer Follow COPAA (Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates), who are working tirelessly to protect the rights of students and families.

Mother-daughter advocates Robyn and Addie are the driving force behind California’s proposed Senate Bill 68 Allergen Disclosure for Dining Experiences (ADDE) , alongside the bill’s sponsor, Senator Caroline Menjivar. 💔 At a time when so many of us in the food allergy community are feeling confused, disappointed, or discouraged by the lack of support for this bill from FARE , our largest national advocacy organization… this conversation couldn’t be more timely or more important. We talk about what it’s like to be connected to the food allergy community through advocacy. What it’s like to be so close to change — and still feel resistance. What it’s like to keep going and turn that resistance into more momentum. And why clear, consistent allergen labeling in restaurants is not just possible — but urgently needed . 👂 Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about legislation, transparency, and what it means when our community leads from within. ✨ This episode is a reminder that sometimes the hardest conversations… are the ones that move us forward the most .

Send us a text Welcome to Season 4 of Don't Feed the Fear — a new chapter I'm calling “I Don’t Want to Talk About It.” This season is all about the things we avoid — the fears we carry in silence, the emotions we push down, and the stories we tell ourselves (and sometimes don’t) about life with food allergies. The episode also touches on last season's discussion of strengthening our trust in our support systems. This episode is a powerful and tender conversation with retired paramedic and grief guide, John Moir, host of the Urban Grief Shamans podcast and leader of grief healing circles for those navigating deep loss. In this episode, we explore: The hidden emotional toll of food allergy emergencies What grief looks like when there's no "death" How first responders experience trauma and their role in ours Why naming our grief is a crucial step toward healing John brings a rare blend of insight and compassionate presence, inviting us to look gently at the parts of our story we usually avoid. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever had to hold it together during a crisis — and is now wondering what to do with the weight they still carry. Whether you’re a parent, a patient, or a professional, this episode is a reminder that grief and anxiety don’t mean something’s wrong with you — they mean something happened. And you deserve support for that.
