This week on Chromosomes & Chaos, we got to sit down with the incredible Jillian Benfield — author of Overwhelmed & Grateful and The Gift of the Unexpected. 💛

Jillian was one of the very first people we dreamed of interviewing because of the impact she’s had on our families. She writes so beautifully and speaks straight to the heart. ❤️ Her message about finding purpose and beauty in life’s unexpected turns will stick with you long after you listen.

This week on Chromosomes & Chaos, we’re talking IEPs — what they really mean, how to advocate for your child, and a few lessons we’ve learned the hard way. Whether you’re brand new to the IEP world or have a few under your belt, this episode is full of real talk and a of course, a few laughs along the way.

And we’re kicking off our newest segment — Chaos Corner! 🙃 Because every week comes with a little bit of crazy, and we’re here to share the “you won’t believe this happened” moments that keep us humble (and laughing).

Grab your coffee, plug in your earbuds, and join us for another dose of honest, chaotic, and heart-filled conversation. 💙

In this episode of Chromosomes & Chaos, host Patty opens up about one of the most difficult chapters of her life — losing her son Hudson shortly after the birth of her daughter Addi. 💔

Patty shares her story with raw honesty and courage, reflecting on the pain, the love that never fades, and the ways she found strength to move forward. This conversation is for every parent who has experienced unimaginable loss — and for anyone who wants to better understand how to show up with compassion and support.

Join us as we honor Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month and the babies we will always hold in our hearts.

In this episode of Chromosomes & Chaos, we’re tackling some of the biggest myths and misconceptions about raising a child with Down syndrome — the ones we heard before (and even after) our own journeys began.

From outdated beliefs about abilities and independence, to misconceptions about happiness and family life — we’re setting the record straight. Because raising a child with Down syndrome isn’t defined by limitations… it’s defined by love, joy, growth, and a whole lot of beautiful chaos. 💙

Join us as we share real experiences, honest conversations, and what we’ve learned along the way.
