Episode 30: The Friends Who Walk This Journey With Me

NEW EPISODE: The Friends Who Walked This Journey With Me When people talk about raising a child with special needs, they often focus on the parents. But what about the friends who choose to stay? In this episode of Rockin’ the Difference, I’m joined by two of my best friends who’ve been in my life since before Ryan was born. Andrea Heuer and Jenn Kiesby. They’ve watched him grow from a baby into the incredible man he is today. They’ve celebrated the victories, witnessed the challenges, and eventually raised their own children alongside him. Together, we talk about how Ryan’s blindness and autism didn’t just shape our family’s story—it influenced theirs too. We discuss what inclusion looked like before it was a buzzword, how their children learned empathy and acceptance simply by growing up together, and why true friendship means showing up through every season of life. This conversation is a reminder that the special needs journey doesn’t just change one family—it has the power to transform everyone it touches.

Episode 29: Beach Getaway Conversations

No experts. No scripts. No agenda. Just five special needs parents, three incredible individuals with disabilities, a beach house, and some honest conversations about life. This week’s Rockin the Difference episode is a reminder that while our journeys may be different, the understanding we find in one another can be life-changing. Come join us for laughter, stories, and a little beachside wisdom. Special Thank you to Rob, Beckie, Christina, Jenna, Jonathan, Kali and Ryan for making this episode so very special. I love you all so much!

Episode 28: Beyond What You See with Tiffany V. Easterbrook

Beyond What You See | Featuring Tiffany V. Easterbrook What if everything you thought you understood about someone… was only a fraction of the story? In this special episode, Ryan and I sit down with Tiffany V. Easterbrook for her YouTube interview series to share our journey—one that goes far beyond first impressions. We talk about what it’s really like raising and living as a blind and autistic young man, the challenges we’ve faced, the growth we’ve experienced, and the powerful moments that have shaped who we are today. Ryan joins the conversation in his own voice—bringing his personality, humor, and even sharing a song that reminds us all just how important it is to truly see people for who they are. This conversation is heartfelt, eye-opening, and filled with reminders that inclusion starts when we look beyond what’s on the surface. 🎥 Be sure to check out Tiffany’s YouTube channel @TiffanyEasterbrook to watch the full interview and experience the connection for yourself. https://youtu.be/X9FxbwZOJsU?si=dwBq9ItxQ3BflbUA And stay tuned… this is just the beginning. I’ll be sitting down with Tiffany soon for another powerful conversation as she prepares for the release of her upcoming book—you won’t want to miss it.
