Description
Parent Footprint with Dr. Dan celebrates our 200th episode today! Parent Footprint is a family and so today Dr. Dan celebrates you – our podcast family! We thank every listener, every parent, every guest, and every individual on our podcast journey. We also want to say a very special thanks to our podcast parents - Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff, the founders of Exactly Right (and co-hosts of My Favorite Murder) for inviting us to be part of the Exactly Right podcast network. To celebrate our 200th episode we have a special guest today – Dr. Dan interviews the powerful, passionate, disability advocate Meg Zucker about empathy, parenting challenges, her incredible journey (including her own parents), and what it means to live an extra-ordinary life. This conversation will make you cheer, inspire you to smile, and change how you view differences.Born with ectrodactyly (a genetic condition characterized by missing or malformed toes and fingers, which she passed down to her two sons), Meg shares her personal story from childhood to today – including founding her nonprofit, Don’t Hide It Flaunt It, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission of advancing understanding and mutual respect for people's differences. Dr. Dan and Meg also discuss her new book BORN EXTRAORDINARY: Empowering Children with Differences and Disabilities, self-advocacy, celebrating differences, and much more. Today’s episode – like the Parent Footprint community – will make the world a more compassionate place one person and one listener at a time.
