关于这个播客 🔗
Honest conversations with dad’s who have kids with disabilities. We are not just talking about the journey, we are living it. Each conversation in Disabled Expectations is about embracing the struggle, facing the pain, and finding the strength through the stories we tell. Each conversation you hear is a step toward building a community of fathers who get it, who know the complexity of loving a child whose path looks different from what you expected.
