21 MAY 2025 · Welcome to Hot Topics! In this compelling episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow reunites with Sarah Stelmach-Brown, who shares her personal journey with adenomyosis—a painful condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. Sarah bravely opens up about her struggles with chronic pain, the challenges of navigating the medical system, and the impact this condition has had on her daily life as a caregiver and student.
Join us as we explore Sarah's experiences with misdiagnosis, the importance of self-advocacy in seeking effective treatment, and the often-overlooked psychological toll that comes with living in constant pain. She emphasizes the need for better awareness and research around women's health issues and encourages listeners to have open discussions about their health.
Whether you or someone you know is affected by adenomyosis, this conversation serves as a valuable resource for understanding and coping with this often-misunderstood disorder. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that highlights resilience, hope, and the urgent need for advocacy in women's health.
Who is Sarah Stelmach-Brown?
Sarah Stelmach-Brown is a caregiving advocate with a major focus on autism and Alzheimer’s disease and the host of the podcast “Caregiver Chronicles.” She is the mother of two boys on the autism spectrum. Sarah worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant and Medication Technician at assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and in-home care before leaving in July of 2021 after experiencing caregiver burnout. She is raw and passionate as she speaks about her experiences as a caregiver in personal and professional settings. Sarah is unafraid to tackle serious topics but uses her wit to bring fun to almost any situation. She uses her podcast to help caregivers from all walks of life connect to others and get their messages out about making the world a better place for those we care for and those who care for us. New episodes are currently on hiatus while Sarah has returned to school to pursue a degree in computer science.

14 MAY 2025 · Welcome to Hot Topics! In this powerful and insightful episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow reconnects with her college friend and guest, Stacie Leap, to explore her courageous journey from sightedness to blindness as a result of domestic violence. This episode kicks off 2025 with a deep dive into themes of resilience, empowerment, and the realities of living with a disability.
Stacie shares her personal story of becoming blind in 2016 and how she has adapted to her new life. She offers a glimpse into her daily experiences as a blind person, detailing the unique methods she uses to navigate everyday tasks and raise her daughter, Alana. Throughout the conversation, Stacie emphasizes the critical role of support, community, and faith in overcoming life's challenges.
As the president of the Pennsylvania Organization of Blind Parents, Stacie highlights her advocacy work, supporting others who face similar experiences. She also shares her future plans to establish a nonprofit organization aimed at providing resources and support for blind parents.
Tune in to hear about Stacie's inspiring journey, the adaptations she has made to live independently, and her dedication to helping others. This episode is a testament to the strength and courage required to pursue a fulfilling life despite obstacles. Join us for a conversation that seeks to raise awareness about domestic violence, living with blindness, and the importance of support networks in navigating life's challenges.
Who is Stacie Leap?
Stacie Leap has worked in the behavioral health field since 2008. She has worked with different populations including addiction recovery, mental health wellness, co-occurring disorders, dementia/Alzheimer’s care, psychiatric rehab, and homeless adults/youth. She went through training to become a peer specialist and recovery specialist. She is an instructor for Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) and Mental Health First Aid. She lost her eyesight in 2016 as a result of domestic violence/intimate partner violence. She advocates for accommodations for blind children and blind parents within the Philadelphia public and charter school systems. Even though she lost eyesight, she never lost her vision to empower herself and those around her. As a survivor of domestic violence, she discusses her road to recovery on various podcasts, conferences, workshops, and conventions throughout the country. She currently serves as the President of the Pennsylvania Organization of Blind Parents (PABP) within the National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania. There, she leads peer support groups, book discussions, and health seminars for blind parents and grandparents monthly via Zoom. Stacie hopes that through her interactions with people, stigma about blindness is minimized and barriers to accessibility are diminished. She wants people to understand that blindness does not hold her back and she can live the life she wants. She is currently working on developing a nonprofit for blind parents where resources, advocacy, support and networking opportunities are provided for blind parents and their families. Her biggest motivators for her advocacy and drive are God and her daughter Alana.
