The Invisible Load: Parenting with a Vestibular Disorder

In this special episode of Talk Dizzy to Me, we’re joined by members of the Dizzy Moms Club for an honest conversation about the challenges of parenting with vestibular disorders, including vestibular migraine, PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness), vestibular neuritis, unilateral vestibular hypofunction, BPPV, and Ménière’s disease.

Our guests share their lived experiences navigating the unpredictable nature of dizziness while raising children—and the strategies they’ve learned for adapting without losing meaningful connection with their families.

Hosted by:

🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS

🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT
