Episode 74: Erika Stariha - SATB2-associated Syndrome
Erika shares her family’s seven-year journey to find a diagnosis for her son, Urban, who was eventually found to have SATB2-associated syndrome. With warmth and candour, Erika explains what it’s like to live through years of uncertainty, to celebrate small milestones, and to help build a global community.
Erika reflects on motherhood, advocacy, and balance – from the early fears of losing her child to the hope and purpose she found through founding the SATB2 Europe Foundation. Her story is one of resilience, love, and an unshakable belief in community and connection.
The song that Erika chose is Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
