Introducing Take the Next Step

Описание: Welcome to Take the Next Step, a podcast for families experiencing disability.

Parenting a child with a disability can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting, but you don’t have to walk this road alone. Take the Next Step is a weekly podcast for parents of children with disabilities and special needs, offering practical guidance, encouragement, and hope.

I’m Amy Julia Becker—writer, speaker, and mom to Penny, my 19-year-old daughter with Down syndrome. Each Wednesday, I’ll be bringing you short, hope-filled conversations with fellow parents, therapists, disability advocates, and people experiencing disabilities. We'll explore how to:

Navigate the challenges of disability parenting
Create moments of delight, joy, and connection at home
Connect with a supportive community where your family belongs
Take small, doable steps toward thriving together

Our first season features Katherine Wolf, stroke survivor and disability advocate; therapist Sissy Goff; researcher Erik Carter; and author Jillian Benfield—plus many more!

If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed, searching for connection, or wondering what comes next, you’re not alone. Your family is a gift. Your child matters. And we need you among us.

New episodes every week starting September 17.
