The Ultimate Plot Twist
The Ultimate Plot Twist podcast provides a space for families to share their stories of when life handed them the unexpected. We will hear the things they have learned, the challenges they faced, and the wisdom they wish they had known sooner to help them along the way.
Our host, Jen Barger, is a mom to two amazing children, one of which just happens to have an extra chromosome. In her families’ own crazy, beautiful journey to learn more about Down syndrome, she found that real valuable advice and encouragement came more from the incredible families and caretakers she met, versus her failed internet searches. And that is what she is going to share with you each episode: Real People. Real Lives. Real Stories. Real Wisdom. So get ready, this is going to be fun!
