This week on The Living Fully Podcast, Mallory is joined by her sister, Jade, along with Ellen Boyer and Caroline Bryan. Together, they sit down to discuss their personal experiences and the mission and hearts behind The Brett Boyer Foundation, which was started to raise awareness surrounding CHD (Congenital Heart Defects) and share the love of Down syndrome. Both Ellen and Jade have walked the journey of losing a child to CHD - Ellen's daughter, Brett, and Jade's son, Blaise - and they help lead a conversation aimed to brighten lives and build a legacy of love and hope.
Throughout the episode, Mallory, Jade, Ellen, and Caroline dive into:
- The annual Red Bird Games, held at Caroline and her husband Luke Bryan's farm, which bring together friends, family, and community to support CHD research and The Brett Boyer Foundation
- Hilarious and touching stories from their hospital days with their children, including Caroline’s swollen lip moment and why Mallory brought cabbage to Jade
- How starting the foundation has helped them honor Brett and Blaise’s memories(among so many others!), raising awareness and funding for CHD while uplifting families and communities
- Finding joy and purpose after loss, and why celebrating each life, even through difficult times, is so essential
They close out the episode with reflections on family and life, and the simple, powerful moments that remind us to live fully. This episode is one you won’t want to miss - it’s sure to leave you inspired to live and love a lot more fully!
