Meet Shannon
Shannon is an anxiety driven, overthinking, perfectionist who stresses over not b eing perfect. She is blessed to be a mom of three miracles. Her oldest is adopted out of the foster care system. After 11 dark years of infertility, she was surprised with a twin pregnancy. Shannon turned in her special education teacher hat to fulfill her dream career as a behavioral and educational consultant.
Meet Jess
Jess is a teacher at heart and a natural leader. Her goal is to leave sparkles of positivity wherever she goes. The practice of finding joy hasn't always been easy - from loving and leaving an addict, to finding self-love and new love, to navigating a nightmare of an adoption process - she is stronger for enduring challenges and is now living her own dream life. Much of her time is spent with her son, but her life wouldn’t be complete without also contributing to the field of education in various ways.

69. Guest Interview with Abby Green - The Miracles of Down Syndrome
In this heartfelt and enlightening episode, we explore the theme of relinquishing control. Our guest, Abby, is the co-host of the Herself Podcast and a mother of three. She describes herself as having a Type A personality. Little did she know that her third child would put this trait to the test. Following two smooth pregnancies, Abby discovers she is expecting again. Her excitement turns to concern when the 20-week anatomy scan reveals medical complications for her baby. Despite the weight of this news, Abby embraces the truth that their child will be deeply loved. Owen, born with Down syndrome, brings a unique light into their lives. Abby candidly shares the joys of parenting a child with Down syndrome, highlighting the lessons she's learned about patience and focusing on what she can control. She has come to cherish the everyday moments that truly matter. Everyone faces their own challenges, and for Owen, Down syndrome is just one part of who he is. Abby and her husband continue to dream big for Owen’s future, just as they do for their two neurotypical children. Join us for this inspiring conversation that encourages us all to embrace life’s unpredictability.
