167. Raising A #BossLady (ft. Rebecca Kutcher)
2022-06-28
“Why not just give it a try?” became Rebecca’s motto as she raised her oldest of three daughters: Trista Kutcher. Today, Trista is a 33-year-old woman with Down syndrome running her own business, living independently, and being a role model to SO many.. including the Avis kids! Heather had the chance to sit down with Trista’s mom, Rebecca, to chat about raising a #BossLady, and you’ll see.. that’s exactly what she’s done. Rebecca is sharing stories about Trista making the high school dance team, the first time she went into the grocery store all by herself, the moment she started her own business, and even her thoughts on inclusive employment. We’re also chatting about how to know when your child with DS is ready to take on a new challenge, when/if you need to protect your child for rejection, and even a little therapeutic talk on co-dependency. This one has a little bit of everything.. enjoy!
