aVERY BRIGHT LIFE Lisa Thornbury
-
- Kind en gezin
aVERY BRIGHT LIFE isn't your typical parenting podcast. Mom, Lisa, shares honestly and humourously what she's learning about raising a child with disabilities. What makes this show unique is Avery herself, who is beautifully atypical. She joins in with her perspective on life, school, friendships and her cat, Kevin. Avery says her differences can be challenging, but mostly, her life's so bright she's gotta wear shades.

99. Chromosome Disorders, DNA, And Other Sciency Stuff
For Rare Chromosome & Gene Disorder Awareness Day I put on my scientist hat (I'm not a scientist... I barely passed high school chemistry class!) and share... in VERY basic terms... what we've learned about chromosomes and genes and how it all relates to rare genetic disorders like Avery's.

97. Singing The Praises of Moms and Nurses
In this ode to Mother's Day and Nurse's week, I share how my mom was the original mama bear (I learned from the best) and talk about nurses and their "secret magic." I also over-share why my husband had to take a flashlight to my undercarriage. 🧐
Avery independently recorded and edited her own jokes this week and recorded a brief segment on what she loves about her mom. 😍

95. Mom Meh
I'm feeling a little "meh" lately. Not happy, not sad. Just flat. Maybe you can relate?

94. The Dark Side of Dischord And Other Chat Apps
I don't love talking about the dark stuff. But I feel like the more we know, the better prepared we are to protect our vulnerable kids.
