Not a Tragedy, but a Calling: One Family’s Fight to Redefine Worth

The Uncomfortable Truth About Purpose and Perseverance

In this powerful episode, Brady Murray sits down with Cathy Daub—a mother of eight, fierce advocate, and co-founder of Team Iron Will—to challenge society’s perception of value and purpose. Cathy shares the raw, unfiltered story of her son Will’s birth, a journey marked by both medical challenges and undeniable miracles. She refuses to see Down syndrome as a limitation, instead embracing it as a divine calling to disrupt the status quo.

This conversation forces us to ask: Do we truly believe that every life has value, or only the ones that fit our expectations? Cathy’s unwavering faith and relentless advocacy push back against a world that often measures worth in terms of productivity rather than purpose. Her story is a call to action—one that demands we rethink how we support, uplift, and fight for individuals with disabilities.
