When Mara was 6-weeks-old, I was interviewed on Despierta America (the #1 morning show in Spanish in the United States) to talk about the release of my book “The Light After Loss”. Once it was shared on the show’s social media channels, it got so much traction as people kept sharing it on Facebook. Eight months ago, it reached one million views and a few days ago it reached two million views.
The more I studied as I learned how to help Mara thrive, the more I realized how many lifestyle changes we could make to improve her development. Obviously, anything that I learn and consider good for Mara’s development, I use with my son Lennox, as well. In general, there are two major changes that we have made. I feel strongly that these changes had a significant, positive impact on their mental and physical development.
Ana Belaval asked me something that I had been waiting to be asked since Mara was born: “How do you deal with people thinking that you had a picture perfect life – you are an author, and influencer, you have a good marriage, a beautiful son – but they now feel sorry that your life is no longer perfect because you had a child with Down syndrome?”
