This episode is a heartfelt one. 💙 We’re saying goodbye to two incredible people who have made such a huge impact on Pierce and Addi—our amazing para and special education teacher. Letting them go is not easy, and we talk about just how much they’ve meant to our families.

We also chat about our summer plans, take time to remember sweet Hudson and the lasting impact he has had on our hearts, and of course, wrap things up with a little Chaos Corner. 🤪

We hope your summer is off to a great start, and thank you for spending part of it with us. ☀️💛

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: Chromosomes & Chaos 🎙️

Okay, hear us out...

There’s a National Donut Day.
There’s a National Pizza Day.
There’s even a National Talk Like a Pirate Day. 🏴‍☠️

But there isn't a National Special Needs Day?!

This week, we're talking about why we think there should be one and what it would look like if we got to create it. Would there be parades? Free coffee for therapy parents? Spa days?

We share our ideas, our experiences, and why celebrating individuals with disabilities and special needs deserves more than just awareness—it deserves a party.

And of course, we're diving into another edition of CHAOS CORNER where we share the funny, messy, unpredictable moments that make this life what it is.

If you're a parent, caregiver, family member, or just someone who loves a person with special needs, this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in, laugh with us, and tell us:

If there was a National Special Needs Day, what would YOU want it to include?

Welcome back to Chromosomes & Chaos — the podcast where we keep it real about parenting, diagnoses, advocacy, and the beautiful chaos in between.

In this episode, we sit down with Leanne to talk about her 9-year-old son, Jacob, and the journey of navigating life after receiving a diagnosis. From potty training struggles and school experiences to the day-to-day realities most people don’t see, Leanne shares the raw, honest moments of raising a child with different needs.

This conversation dives into the highs, the hard days, the wins that deserve celebrating, and the lessons learned along the way. Whether you’re a parent walking a similar road, an educator, or someone wanting to better understand the disability community, this episode is packed with honesty, humor, and heart.

Because at the end of the day, parenting doesn’t come with a manual — and sometimes it’s equal parts chromosomes & chaos. 🎙️
