aVERY BRIGHT LIFE

By: Lisa Thornbury
  • Summary

  • aVERY BRIGHT LIFE isn't your typical parenting podcast. Mom, Lisa, shares honestly and humourously what she's learning about raising a child with disabilities. What makes this show unique is Avery herself, who is beautifully atypical. She joins in with her perspective on life, school, friendships and her cat, Kevin. Avery says her differences can be challenging, but mostly, her life's so bright she's gotta wear shades.

    Apr 11 2024

    I'm feeling a little "meh" lately. Not happy, not sad. Just flat. Maybe you can relate?

    Mar 28 2024

    I don't love talking about the dark stuff. But I feel like the more we know, the better prepared we are to protect our vulnerable kids.
