Friends, we had so many incredible conversations in 2023, before we kick off a new season we’re throwing it back to some of our favorite episodes as we get excited to hit a milestone of ONE MILLION DOWNLOADS in 2024!

There are so many feelings when we enter spaces alongside our loved ones with Down syndrome and disabilities. The question, “Is there such a thing as a difficult parent?” It made us think deeply about advocacy, boundaries, and how gender, race, and cultural stereotypes can play a role in this question. What does it mean to advocate? What is your job as your child's advocate? If you make people uncomfortable does that make you difficult or does that make you an advocate? Is there a way around advocating and not being labeled a difficult parent? Friends, you’re not going to want to miss our conversation on this hot topic!

“We must combine the toughness of a serpent and the

softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.”

Martin Luther King Jr., Strength To Love (1963)
