all I want for Christmas is Moo (Deng), with Ricki Cummings [S3E6]
In their annual "let's just chat" episode of Hoorf, Elle Billing and Ricki Cummings weave together stories about navigating life with chronic illness, from the profound to the ridiculous. Between tales of Winkie the dog's adventures and updates from her dad's community Christmas concert, the conversation takes a more serious turn as they discuss food allergies, with Elle processing her emotional response to a Disney influencer's tragic death from a severe peanut allergy. Throughout their meandering discussion, a deeper truth emerges about the vital importance of feeling truly seen and heard.
