A few years back I asked myself, "why is it so important to keep the Down syndrome population?"

And I realized that it's the way they unconditionally love others. In this episode I dive into not only unconditionally loving others, but unconditionally loving yourself.

How can you shift your thoughts to shift your life? Through growing up with Michael, I've learned the value behind your perspective.

Why sulk about having a twin brother who is different, when I can celebrate the lessons I've learned from him and the incredible impact he's had on our lives? Why stress over things that are outside of my control? 

For those of you who have grown up with someone who has Down syndrome, you know very well that they're one of the most stubborn individuals you'll ever meet. And yet, they teach you patience that you can apply in many areas of your life

As an addition to our first episode, for those of you who are curious to understand what Down Syndrome is, I've gone through and provided a little more background so you can develop a better understanding of the most common chromosomal condition in the United States
