Listen Later

We’re back with another Pop-Up Podcast, live from the 2025 NDSC Conference in Dallas! This episode features two incredible guests you may recognize! With an unshakable sibling bond and a whole lot of heart, we are joined by Annika and Aaron Soderfelt. 

Aaron is 24, loves country music, has got the jams, and has a playlist for every occasion (especially for “grump walks”). Annika is an occupational therapist, fierce advocate, and founder of NotAlwaysHappy.org, a mental health resource created to support the Down syndrome community. 

In this episode, you’ll get to hear about: 

  • Their favorite songs and artists  
    • The story behind their infamous “grump walks” playlist 
      • Aaron’s experiences flying solo and how he's crushing independence 
        • Annika’s advice to siblings, her doctoral research, and why “love” is the foundation of it all  
          • What it really means to grow up as siblings including the challenges and the power of showing up for one another 
          • Tune into this episode for a heartfelt, hilarious, and refreshingly honest conversation about family, advocacy, and redefining what it means to live a full and meaningful life!
