TALK Down Syndrome

This TALK episode we have guests, Phillip and Ramona Gallegos from The Upside of Down Foundation. Phillip and Ramona created a fun way to advocate for their son, Zachary, through Golf Tournaments. Today we speak to them about their journey with Zachary and how golfing and awareness have come together. This one is a good one, you don't want to miss it.

Today we are kicking off World Down Syndrome Day, I would say SUPER early but only because when I think of WDSD I think of John's Crazy Socks. Today's episode features father and son duo, Mark and John Cronin owners and creators of John's Crazy Socks. When I first entered this community, I remember seeing John's Crazy Socks marketed everywhere online and it has finally come full circle where they are now on my podcast! It was such a joy to discuss how their business started as well getting to know more about John as an individual and I can tell you now, him and his dad have one heck of a relationship. What they have created is what all of us parents dream about, a successful business full of happiness, love, travel, and advocacy with our children. These two are quite a pair so take a listen to today's short but sweet episode of the journey of Mark and John Cronin of none other than the best socks in town, John's Crazy Socks.

Behind this podcast, behind every life event I have ever had (including the birth our children) is my main support, my husband, Michael Holm. This podcast has now been running for a little over 3 years, and guess what, my husband has never been featured on it. So for this episode we decided to drop the kids off at the grandparents, grab a drink, and record his viewpoint of parenting both our children, being a special needs parent from a father's perspective, and how he see's the future of our family raising a child like Cheyenne and Jade. This episode is extra special to me because I hardly get to have conversations from a man's perspective on special needs parenting. We ever so often hear journeys from women. So grab a drink with us and take a listen to our shenanigan's about what is was like having Cheyenne and Jade
