The Lucky Few

151. Finding People That Don't Feel Sorry For You (ft. Jo Lopez)


Listen Later

Today we are joined by Jo Lopez, a fellow lucky mama + IRL assistant to Heather Avis! Jo has made it her mission to find community within the Down syndrome space and today she’s sharing all about how she’s found her people. It started with an early (and confusing) diagnosis, an overwhelming google search, and then a sweet Facebook message that changed everything! We’re also chatting about finding your people in-person, the right time to join an online group, and how having a child with DS shapes your social life.. especially as they get older.

Plus, we’re discussing the anticipation for World Down Syndrome Day and everything to come with The Lucky Few Foundation! Anyone else feel the holiday-like anticipation for 3/21!? So much to celebrate!
