Welcome to Episode 10 of the Warrior Words podcast!

In honor of World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st, I invited my friend and Down Syndrome advocate, Wendy Hooton, to share her story with us. And she didn't disappoint! Weaving humor throughout the various phases of her Warrior journey, Wendy reminds us of what's most important in life.

Armor Up.

Fight the Good Fight.

Seek Beauty.

Make Your Words Warrior Words.
