What does it mean to be human? Why is comfort not necessarily something to strive for? How is love more than just a feeling or emotion?

These are just a few of the topics covered in this enlightening conversation with New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and founder of The Lucky Few, Heather Avis.

Get ready to have your heart touched and your perspective shifted as Heather Avis shares her extraordinary journey of love. In a life she never planned, Heather takes us through the unexpected twists and turns and the divine nudge that led her to becoming the mother of two children with Down Syndrome and a biracial daughter.  Heather's life and work is a celebration of diversity. She believes in a fully inclusive world where our differences are not just accepted but are celebrated, embraced, and encouraged ... a world where everyone knows an actual living person with Down Syndrome and understands what it means to be part of "the lucky few."

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why a divine nudge can set us on a path that changes us forever
• How storytelling can shift societal narratives
• When we'll know that media truly embraces diversity
• Why love is an action
• How two opposing things can be true at the same time
• What it means to be part of "The Lucky Few"
• And so much more
