Joys of Being a Disability Parent with Anna Owen
In this week’s episode, I was joined by Anna Owen, a Montessori mom and an advocate for a more natural way of life. Anna shares her family's experiences after her daughter Josephine was born with a rare musculoskeletal disorder called Antley Bixler syndrome, greatly affecting her physical development. Anna and her family have felt so much joy with Josephine in their lives, and through their faith, patience, and willingness to learn as they go in the face of the unknown, they have come closer together because of it. Join us as we dive deeper into what contributes to the joy of seeing your child sing the song they were meant to sing in this episode of Conquering Your Clownfish!
For more from Anna Owens and her experiences with Antley Bixler syndrome find her on Instagram @annaowen.
