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.

Chromosomes & Chaos
Sickness, Surgery & Starting Over: February, We’re Ready!!!!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
January tested us.
Sickness.
Surgeries.
Schedules blown up.
Plans derailed.
And honestly? Survival mode was the win.
But February?
February is a reset.
Not a “new year, new you” kind of reset…
A grace-filled, meet-yourself-where-you-are reset.
On this episode of Chromosomes & Chaos, a podcast about real life parenting, advocacy, fitness, and navigating the beautiful chaos that comes with raising kids with Down syndrome (and everything else life throws at you), we’re talking about:
• Letting go of January guilt
• Navigating sickness & surgery without losing yourself
• Why resets don’t have to be perfect to be powerful
• How to restart routines when life has been chaotic
If January knocked you sideways, this one’s for you.
Turn the page. Take a breath. Let’s reset together. 💛
