Listen in to hear Meg share:

Her experience being born with ectrodactyly - the absence of one or more central digits of the hand or foot

The difference between the labels of “difference” and “disabilities” and how to use them appropriately 

How she has taken on the attitude Let Go and Let Live in order to let her kids with ectrodactyly figure out their capabilities

The gift of her husband accepting her unconditionally before she accepted herself unconditionally

How her son being bullied led her to start her non-profit, Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It. 

The fine line between cruelty and curiosity when it comes to interacting with people who are different than yourself

Why kindness is a great goal, but not sufficient on its own when it comes to teaching your kids about being inclusive
