EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode Jillian and Audrey, mother and daughter, share their perspectives about dwarfism and offer helpful advice and wisdom along the way. They speak about topics ranging from the "sport" of dwarf-tossing to some very enlightening and evolved perspectives on disability, advocacy, decision-making, overcoming challenges, and thriving in a world that does not make it easy to live without being stared at and photographed without consent. Dwarfism is relatively rare so most of us have never met a little person. In this episode, you will gain a new appreciation for the challenges, gifts, and wisdom of one little person and her mom.
