In this episode of Obsessed or Not Interested, I am bringing my older, wiser sister Kim Tobey to talk about her story of getting a down syndrome diagnosis while she was pregnant with her 4th baby, complications that followed the beautiful birth, and advocating for yourself and your child. The motivation for me sharing my story of my daughter's autism diagnosis and now sharing this episode with you is to help you as a mom feel connected to our stories even if they are different, not go through this alone, and encourage you to become a mom warrior for your child. 



The episode is a heartfelt story and conversation of the trials of being a special needs parent and resilience of motherhood. We believe you were made for this and we hope you have felt seen & supported from this episode.
