TALK 35: Discussion with Brady Murray, founder of RODS Hero’s
Today we get to talk to Brady Murray, owner and founder of RODS Hero's. Becoming a parent to a child with special needs is not only by chance but can also be by choice. We at TALK Down Syndrome absolutely love those who are first to raise their hand to the task of taking on such a special duty to parent a child with special needs and RODS Hero's agree. That is why Brady Murray and his family created this organization to help individuals that want to step into parenting our little special ones who need family and love. Talk a moment to listen to this beautiful calling of love and community on today's episode.

Episode 35: John’s Crazy Socks
Today we are kicking off World Down Syndrome Day, I would say SUPER early but only because when I think of WDSD I think of John's Crazy Socks. Today's episode features father and son duo, Mark and John Cronin owners and creators of John's Crazy Socks. When I first entered this community, I remember seeing John's Crazy Socks marketed everywhere online and it has finally come full circle where they are now on my podcast! It was such a joy to discuss how their business started as well getting to know more about John as an individual and I can tell you now, him and his dad have one heck of a relationship. What they have created is what all of us parents dream about, a successful business full of happiness, love, travel, and advocacy with our children. These two are quite a pair so take a listen to today's short but sweet episode of the journey of Mark and John Cronin of none other than the best socks in town, John's Crazy Socks.

Courtney walks us through how courageous and resilient her newborn baby was as he faced aspiration issues, along with heart failure, and his first few months. Now a healthy, almost 3 years old little boy, alongside his brother, are just the most amazing and inspirational kids Courtney never knew she would be blessed with.

TALK 32: Michael Holm. My husband, live, silly, and raw about raising our kids, especially our special girl with DS.
Behind this podcast, behind every life event I have ever had (including the birth our children) is my main support, my husband, Michael Holm. This podcast has now been running for a little over 3 years, and guess what, my husband has never been featured on it. So for this episode we decided to drop the kids off at the grandparents, grab a drink, and record his viewpoint of parenting both our children, being a special needs parent from a father's perspective, and how he see's the future of our family raising a child like Cheyenne and Jade. This episode is extra special to me because I hardly get to have conversations from a man's perspective on special needs parenting. We ever so often hear journeys from women. So grab a drink with us and take a listen to our shenanigan's about what is was like having Cheyenne and Jade

TALK 31: Brandy Duggan- Becoming a new mom to a child with DS while also learning about herself.
It took 7 months for Brandy to respond to my message on Facebook when I reached out to her to be a guest. Little did I know during that time, Brandy was embarking on her own journey of being a brand new mother to Brayden (who is diagnosed with Down Syndrome) but also learning about her own neurodiversity. Brandy shares with us how she maneuvers through social media taking down “trolls” and shining her own light of advocating for her two children.
