How can we teach our kids that everyone belongs? In this episode, my guest and I discuss how to empathize with and welcome families who are different than our own.

Everyone Belongs with Heather Avis

Heather Avis is founder and chief visionary officer at The Lucky Few, a social awareness brand on a mission to make a more inclusive and loving world with an emphasis on shifting the Down syndrome narrative. The author of Everyone Belongs and the New York Times bestselling children’s book Different—A Great Thing to Be! she runs The Lucky Few's hit Instagram account and is the author of a book and co-host of the podcast by the same name. A former education specialist teaching high school students, Heather is a popular speaker and a mother to three adopted children (two with Down syndrome). She lives in Southern California with her husband, Josh, and their three kids Truly, August and Macy.

I was touched by my interview with Heather and I think you will be, too.

We discussed:

* How her parenting and adoption journey changed her

* How we can reinforce our kids’ God-given value

* How her faith helped her in her parenting journey

* How we can better empathize with families different than our own and how can we foster inclusivity
