As October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we introduce our guest Kimberly Sanders.

Kimberly Sanders naively imagined motherhood as a serene walk beside her children; however, she discovered it is more often unpredictable, fraught with struggle, and ultimately an invitation to sit beside her children in the muck and mystery.  In her first book, Beside You, Kimberly generously shares the unpredictable struggles and rich lessons learned through Lukas, her son who has both Down syndrome and autism.

Kimberly and I dive into her journey, from pregnancy to diagnosis, and we discover what she's learned.

We hope you enjoy this episode, and take the opportunity to get her book!

Her book is available in many outlets, as well as Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Beside-You-Lukas-Special-Revealed-ebook/dp/B09FH34587
