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.

Summer definitely had other plans for us... 😅
First off—thank you for sticking with us. We know it's been a little quiet around here, but sometimes life reminds you to slow down, take a breath, and focus on what matters most.
In this episode of Chromosomes & Chaos, we're catching you up on everything that's been happening behind the scenes.
We talk about:
• Why we've been MIA
• Our wild summer adventures
• Potty training wins (and plenty of struggles 🤪)
• Squishy Hunting
• Navigating Hashimoto's and prioritizing health
• Learning that it's okay to slow down
• A brand-new Chaos Corner
• And, of course... all the unexpected moments that only our family could experience.
As always, this isn't about having it all figured out—it's about sharing the real, messy, beautiful journey of raising kids with down syndrome, building a business, and embracing life exactly as it comes.
Whether you're raising a child with Down syndrome, juggling a busy family, or simply trying to survive the chaos of everyday life, we hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone.
Thank you for your patience while we took a step back. We're excited to be back, and we can't wait to continue sharing this journey with you.
