Chromosomes & Chaos
Welcome to Chromosomes & Chaos, hosted by Patty and Amber, two moms from Iowa navigating life with kids who have Down syndrome! This podcast is a mix of laughter, honesty, and heart.
We share our personal stories, different viewpoints, and the triumphs (and messes!) of raising multiple kids in a busy world. From therapies to school, doctor visits to dance parties, and everything in between, no topic is off-limits.
Whether you’re a parent, sibling, family member, friend, or advocate, Chromosomes & Chaos is a space for connection, awareness, and community. Join us each week to celebrate life, share experiences, and remind each other that with a little chaos, comes a lot of love.
New episodes every Tuesday—listen wherever you get your podcasts.
