Episode 214 - Happiness is Down Syndrome with Misty Snyder
What happens when the excitement of a pregnancy comes to a screeching halt with the words you never expected to hear: Down syndrome?
For many parents, it can feel like a life sentence of fear and unknowns. What started out as a grief over the life Misty Snyder was expecting to have with her second-born child, ended up to be one of her greatest gifts.
While she wrestled through the anxieties and mourned the expectations of what she thought motherhood of two would be like, Misty has found a richer, fuller life than she could have ever imagined. She has taken her pain and turned it into a vibrant, encouraging community called Happiness is Down Syndrome to support other parents grappling with the challenges and joys that come with loving a child with Down syndrome.
Join Davey and Misty as they talk about what to do when life takes an unexpected turn and how to find happiness in the midst of it. Whether you are a parent of a child with special needs or just know one, this episode will help you see the good in the hardest moments of life.
”Find community. Find people who have walked where you are walking.”
Misty Snyder
