In this profoundly moving episode of Champagne
Problems,
host Robbie Shaw sits down with Laura King Edwards—author, rare
disease advocate, and endurance athlete—for a deeply personal
conversation about resilience, purpose, and the power of love.
Laura shares her extraordinary journey of navigating life after her
sister Taylor’s diagnosis with Batten disease, a rare and fatal
neurodegenerative disorder. From founding a nonprofit and running
blindfolded half-marathons to becoming a mother just days before
losing her sister, Laura offers a raw, inspiring look at grief,
healing, and the unexpected ways purpose can
unfold. Tune
in for a heartfelt dialogue about family, identity, legacy, and
what it truly means to live a meaningful life—even in the face of
unimaginable loss.
