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.

In this episode, you'll hear:
✨ Amy's inspiring life story and how her story shaped her life's mission;
✨ The story of her son Rocco and how his birth and life inspired Dear Mom;
✨ The power of community and connection for moms raising children with Down Syndrome and children with other differences;
✨ How the Dear Mom movement has grown — and the beautiful impact it's making worldwide;
✨ Amy's advice for moms navigating uncertainty, fear, and new beginnings;
✨ And so much more!

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Charla Grim — wife, mama, and a courageous woman who is using her story of love, loss, and motherhood to bring comfort and hope to others. Charla is the mother of three beautiful boys — Mason, Emmett, and Garrison. Emmett was born sleeping. Charla and her husband went to the hospital expecting to welcome their baby boy into the world, but instead heard the words no parent should ever hear: "I'm sorry, your baby doesn't have a heartbeat." Their lives were changed in an instant.

Nothing in life prepares a parent for that kind of loss. The grief never fully goes away. Yet through the heartbreak, Charla has discovered an inner strength she never knew she had. In the years since losing Emmett, she has learned to carry both love and grief at the same time — and she has chosen to honor her son by sharing her story and lighting the way for others walking through similar pain.

On Emmett's first birthday, Charla shared a reflection that captured both the heartbreak and beauty of motherhood. She wrote that Emmett made them parents again. He filled their hearts with love and joy. Losing him showed them the strength they didn't know they had. He brought their family closer and transformed their lives forever. Charla still wonders what his laugh would have sounded like, what color his eyes would have been, and what his smile would have looked like — but she knows his light continues to shine through the love he left behind.

This episode is part of our Every Woman, Every Girl campaign — celebrating the truth that every woman and every girl has power, purpose, and a story worth telling. Charla's story embodies that truth with so much grace and courage.

In this episode, you'll hear:
✨ Charla's story of love, loss, and the day her world changed forever;
✨ How she and her family have found strength through heartbreak;
✨ The lessons she has learned through grief, loss, and healing;
✨ How Emmett's life continues to inspire love, connection, and purpose;
✨ And how Charla is honoring her son's light and helping others do the same.

✨ And so much more. 💫
