Description

Katherine never knew a world without her big brother Jonathon. Their relationship has a lot in common with any other run-of-the-mill siblings—they have inside jokes, a whole lot of love, and a bit of resentment. So, why are we talking about Katherine’s experience growing up? Because Jonathon has rare syndrome that hugely affected their home life and every day.
In this episode, Katherine shares what it was like for her and gives us the DL on what we can do and be aware of to be the best possible parents to all of our children.

This is the real, raw, and all the feels of loving a child with disabilities. Episodes feature parent-guests, professionals, and solo episodes with host Madeline Cheney. Their authentic conversations don’t shy away from the strong and mixed emotions that often accompany medically-complex parenting. Parents listen in to feel seen, validated, and receive much-needed solidarity. Professionals working with disabled people listen in to better understand what is often going on under the surface for a family living with disabilities.
