Kyla Thomson is the incredible mother of the beautiful soul Bella Brave. Kyla and Bella started posting on TikTok and today the account has over 7.5 million followers. Bella’s charm is undeniable! Bella was born with rare versions of rare diseases along with a rare form of dwarfism. She captured the hearts of the world as we watched her through hospital stays, surgeries, family outings and heart warming comedic reels. In July Kyla had to give the ultimate heartbreaking news to the world that Bella had passed on July 14th 2024. Kyla and I discuss the struggles with parenting an immune deficient child, social media trolls, suffering medical trauma and the incredible grief she feels. The conversation culminates in the emotional recounting of Bella’s final days and the legacy she leaves behind.
