Episode notes

A conversation filled with hope. Julie is the mother of Darcy who was born 20 years ago with Down syndrome. She discusses her decision to find out before Darcy was born so that the family could prepare to celebrate his birth, rather than face shock or disappointment at that time.

A great conversation about what it is to be a family. Belonging. Acceptance. Community. Compassion. Most of all, it is about recognising the humanity in every person. As Julie says throughout the interview, when we look beyond a diagnosis, we discover extraordinary people—and often discover something about ourselves as well. If you've ever wondered what inclusion really looks like, or simply need reminding that kindness still changes lives, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends. The conversatino touches on many issues including the need for Governments and Community to properly support those living with disabilities. And be prepared to learn some valuable life lessons from unexpected sources! ------- www.zorzle.org is the website for our vision for a global kindness movement led by children. A kind world is a caring world that never excludes others on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, or sexuality.
