Down Syndrome: Unlearning the Narrative

On this episode, we talk about the things we had to unlearn after having a child with an extra chromosome.

We had to unlearn timelines and expectations.

Unlearn comparison, control, and the idea that “normal” is the goal.

Unlearn the fear-based narratives and limits that were placed on our child before they ever had the chance to show us who they are.

This episode is about releasing what we thought parenting was supposed to look like—and embracing patience over pressure, progress over pace, and connection over checklists.

And it’s a reminder that sometimes the greatest growth comes not from learning more—but from letting go.
