I cannot say enough about this incredible podcast and these three amazing individuals advocating for their loved ones with Down Syndrome. My husband found this podcast the day after we received our in utero diagnosis at 12 weeks. He started listening immediately while it took me several weeks to...Read full review »

You guys, I love this podcast. I am a mama of a child with Down syndrome and just connect so much with these ladies and the guests on the show. I look forward to listening every week and the day it comes out just happens to be my day off work (win!) It’s my weekly sunshine, and I feel like it’s...Read full review »

Before listening to this podcast, I’d have said I don’t have a connection with Down syndrome. Now I know that I do, because I am human. I am a normal variation of human being and so are my trisomy 21 siblings. I’m glad we are all here together, whether we meet other people’s expectations or not,...Read full review »

I love this podcast. The topics are important and timely and the hosts are so relatable. I wish I had DS mom friends like this! However, can someone PLEASE get Micah a better microphone?
StaceyFolk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/23
I’ve been a fan of these ladies for a while now. When I have a long drive I’m happy to listen to as many back-to-back episodes as I can. I love the ideas they share and the thoughts on “shoulders down spaces.” I always feel encouraged and fired up to advocate for my son with Down Syndrome and my...Read full review »

While with raising 2 little girls 2 & under I don’t have much time to sit and listen, I want you to know that when I do get the time your voices are a calming force in my life. Our sweet girl, Aggie, was born with Down syndrome at the end of January and she is such a joy in our lives. Still,...Read full review »

This podcast has been such a comfort and inspiration. I started listening at 15 weeks pregnant and binged MOST a of the episodes. At the time I wasn’t ready to listen to episodes about how I could advocate because I was so overwhelmed. My daughter is now 1.5 years and I’ve gone back and listened...Read full review »

I am so glad I found this podcast. I just found this week and am working my way through all the episodes. I so appreciate the many perspectives and personal stories. I don’t have many parents to talk about these things with so it means so much to hear you all talk about the same things that are...Read full review »

I wasn’t going to listen to this podcast - I didn’t want any “rah-rah yay Down syndrome” podcast after our surprise birth diagnosis of our son, Peter. But one day I caved. And now I have three new best friends. This podcast is normal moms thrown into an extraordinary life and how they navigate it...Read full review »

About a month ago, I found the podcast and started from the beginning. I have been listening constantly as I take my daughter to all of her therapies and appointments. My daughter lights up with the intro song and smiles when Truly sings! We are almost nearly caught up and I’m going to be sad...Read full review »

I’m just finishing up getting my Critical Social Justice M.A. in Special Education and earning my preliminary teaching credential for students with moderate-severe special needs in Southern CA.

Each week you all give me so much to think about. I deeply appreciate all of the joys and challenges you share. I find myself nodding my head and laughing (or crying) along with you. Thank you for keeping it real and being narrative shifters!

I cannot thank all of you enough for talking about Housing, and featuring Nate Diskint, Founder and Executive Director of CoHomes! My son, Matthew, is 34 and we have been successful with securing many resources he likes, except for Housing. Nate’s vision IS what we have been looking for!! And we...Read full review »

I look forward to each new release of The Lucky Few Podcast. I have a 9 year old son who has Down syndrome and he altered my life for the better in so many ways.

I’ve been binging this podcast and I can say it has been so helpful in my life. It’s a must listen to any new parent of a child with Down syndrome.

I started a podcast during the Pandemic and it is hard work! I appreciate what the Lucky Few Team is doing even more now. Great content, great guests, great mamas/advocates!
KWPodFan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/21
The Lucky Few podcast is by far one of my favorite. It brings you raw and real, and has something for everyone. Heather touches on topics that there’s not many resources on, some really hard topics for anyone, and does such with an immense amount of tenderness, without eliminating the real....Read full review »

Dear Lucky Few, My dearest friend Mrs. Moline introduced me to this podcast last year. Her son, my “nephew”, Benson, has been a shining light of joy in our lives. I get emotional thinking about what a beautiful resource your podcast has been for Benson’s family. To have any small chance to better...Read full review »

I don’t have a loved one with DS - I’ve been following Heather for SO LONG and just started listening when they started the podcast - I’m not even sure how I got to following Heather! But I came here to say that I love this podcast. It opens my mind, and now that I’ve become a mom, I feel like...Read full review »
Miraz38 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/21
I listen to your podcast often, but nothing has touched me as emotionally as the podcast entitled “Finding Your People”. I related so strongly to Heather’s description of holding your shoulders up or letting them down. I never had a phrase for that or even knew I was doing it, until I heard those...Read full review »

I’m always looking for content and media to consume that helps me create a more inclusive world.

Hi friends , This episode hit my heart so hard. Hearing your sweet kiddos support your new book was so touching.

I can’t even begin to describe what this podcast means to me.

I’m so grateful for this podcast. I had the great pleasure of meeting Micha in person for an amazing Down Syndrome mamas dinner pre-pandemic (the Bay missed you lady!), so this podcast already felt like hearing from friends. Add in the fact that they feature my daughter’s phenomenal pediatrician...Read full review »

I love listening to these ladies. All three offer a unique perspective on raising a kid with Down syndrome. And they’re so fun! When I finish listening I feel like I’ve spent a day at the park with three other moms talking about how great our kiddos are. My daughter was only nine months old when...Read full review »

These ladies are the best! I always step out of my car feeling encouraged and empowered as a mamma of a child with Down Syndrome. They cover so many topics that are relevant to building up and including our loved ones with Down Syndrome.
Frygirlly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/20
Love the work you’re doing spreading awareness and acceptance. As a new DS parent it’s great to hear real, relatable conversation.
cewolf15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/20
I tune in every week and it’s like a nice chat with friends. There is a wide range of topics that help me to support my son with Down Syndrome and stay up to date with what is going on with the Down Syndrome community.
neelyjade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/20
I just found this podcast and I’m not sure how I have been without it! As a parent to a pre-teen boy with Down syndrome, this is exactly what I need in my life!
TamaraIngold via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/20
As a new mom to #theluckyfew I’ve already been blessed by the wisdom these women bring to our community. They discuss a wide variety of topics and they have helped me to begun thinking about the questions that I will come to address at some point in my child’s life, which I appreciate.
DaniG45678 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/20
I love listening to this podcast each and every week! The hosts are authentic, honest and don’t sugarcoat. But I also feel motivated and excited for my journey with my daughter with Down Syndrome listening to all of their stories!
