The Dude Therapist

In honor of Down Syndrome Awareness Day, we are having a special guest on, Oakley Peterson.
Oakley Peterson is a California girl who married a Utah boy and has found herself living in the snow and mountains... where she never planned on raising a family! An even bigger change in life's “plans” was giving birth to a son with Down syndrome... an event that she never hoped for but is beyond grateful for! Enjoying life’s surprises with her husband, their beautifully headstrong daughter, Scarlett; that sunshine son who happens to have an extra chromosome, Welles, and their free-spirited youngest son, Ames. Together they find joy in the journey within their little family circus

In this episode, we dive into the ups and downs of parenting a child with as she calls it "Up Syndrome" and how to be together as a family and ok with the struggles that come your way.
This episode touched my heart on so many levels.
