In this episode of Chromosomes & Chaos, we dive into a question every parent faces sooner or later:

What do you say when your child notices — and asks about — disabilities and differences?

Kids are curious, observant, and honest… sometimes uncomfortably so. And too often, parents freeze, shush, or say “don’t stare” without knowing what to say next.

We talk about why these questions are normal, how our reactions shape our children’s understanding of disability, and how to respond with honesty, respect, and confidence. From simple language to real-life scripts, we explore how to normalize differences, model inclusion, and raise kids who aren’t afraid of what’s different from them.

This episode is for parents who want to:
Answer hard questions without fear or awkwardness
Teach kindness without pity
Replace silence with understanding
Raise inclusive, compassionate humans

Because the goal isn’t perfect answers — it’s brave conversations and being understanding about curiosity!!

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.

In this episode of Chromosomes & Chaos, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos of the New Year. Are New Year’s resolutions actually helpful… or are we officially over them? 👀

We talk about the pressure to “start fresh,” what really works when it comes to goals, and how to approach the New Year without burning out by January. Spoiler alert: it’s not about perfection.

Plus, we wrap it up with our Christmas & Chaos Corner—the good, the messy, the emotional, and everything in between that the holidays bring.

If you’re feeling hopeful, skeptical, exhausted, or all of the above about the New Year… this one’s for you. 🎄✨
