“If you’ve ever wondered what the teenage years REALLY look like after a diagnosis… this is the episode.”

If this is your first time here—welcome to Chromosomes & Chaos 💛

This podcast is about real stories from 2 moms who have kids with Down Syndrome navigating life’s highs, lows, and everything in between—from parenting and purpose to adversity, fitness, and finding strength in the chaos.

It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s badass.

This week, we sit down with Bonnie—mom to 14-year-old Aiden—and NOTHING is off the table.

We’re talking about:
✨ The reality of raising a teenager (not the highlight reel)
✨ What it actually feels like after the diagnosis
✨ The moments no one prepares you for
✨ And how humor becomes survival

Bonnie is unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply real—and somehow makes you laugh while hitting you right in the heart.

There are moments in this episode that will make you think:
“Wait… no one talks about this.”

And that’s exactly why we do.

Because behind every diagnosis is a story people need to hear.

Trust us—this one will stay with you. 🎧
