281: Dear Mom, - Amy Amaradio

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Amy Amaradio - mama and founder of Dear Mom, a movement and community that uplifts and connects mothers raising children with Down Syndrome and other differences.

Amy's story began in Michigan, where she grew up with deep family roots, a strong faith, and a heart for connection. Years later, she settled in California where she built her family, including her son, Rocco, who has what Amy lovingly calls "that magical extra chromosome."

Like so many new moms on this journey, Amy faced uncertainty, questions, and fears - but she soon discovered the power of community. It was through friendship and connection with other moms who understood that she found strength, hope, and belonging.

That realization inspired Amy to create Dear Mom, - a space where moms could come together to share stories, support one another, and celebrate the beauty and strength of their children. What began as a simple dream soon grew into a thriving movement - with annual Dear Mom Conferences, heartfelt Dear Mom Letters, and a growing sisterhood of women from across the country and around the world who remind one another that they are never alone.

Grounded in love, empowerment, and community, Amy's mission continues to uplift families everywhere - empowering mothers to find their voices, embrace their journeys, and walk together with hope.
