- Maatschappij en cultuur
In this episode we talk with Becky Tilley, a UK-based mom who is spreading the words of kindness and inspiration after being diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome called Koolen-de Vries.
Becky grew up feeling different, but had no idea until after the birth of her second child that she was not only a carrier of this syndrome but that two of her kids would go on to also be diagnosed. Getting the diagnosis when she was an adult gave her a unique perspective as she wasn't defined by this condition growing up. Instead of letting parent guilt and the negative spiral get in the way - she harnessed positivity and ended up writing and publishing a book called Thrive Rare: Embracing the Uniqueness Within.
Listen in as Becky opens up and shares her story of her childhood that included being bullied and having difficulties with academics and work life to where she is today having authored a book and continuing to be an inspiration to others that have been diagnosed with rare genetic syndromes.
