What happens when life doesn’t turn out exactly the way you expected?
In this episode of Hey, Are You Still There?, Mike sits down with author Lisa Dunn, whose debut book, Nothing More, Nothing Less, offers an honest, vulnerable, and often humorous look at raising her daughter, Addison, who has Down syndrome.
Lisa shares the story behind the book and opens up about the emotions that come with parenting a child with differing abilities—from fear, grief, and exhaustion to joy, faith, love, and pride. Rather than sugarcoating the experience, Lisa shares the real-life moments that have shaped her family and challenged her to grow.
We talk about parenting, faith, inclusion, embracing differences, and the importance of seeing the person rather than the diagnosis. Lisa’s story is a reminder that life doesn’t have to look the way we expected it to in order to be incredibly meaningful.
Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, someone who works with individuals with special needs, or simply someone who wants to better understand the experiences of families raising children with Down syndrome, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
