"Happiness is Down Syndrome” with Misty Coy Snyder



Welcome back to the Podcast. October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month and we are
celebrating all month long with this next series.

Today we welcome back guest Misty Coy Snyder. Misty is an actor, singer, writer, entrepreneur,
and advocate for the Down syndrome community. In 2020, when Misty learned prior to birth that
her second son would have Down syndrome, instead of letting that moment remain defined by
fear, she created Happiness is Down Syndrome, a worldwide platform that promotes inclusion
and awareness. And In 2023 she also launched her podcast, Bold Voices, Soft Hearts, which shares stories of
people who found their passion through pain. Misty and her family want to show the world the beauty of diversity, and today she’s here to share that hope with you. So let’s listen in to today’s conversation with Misty Coy Snyder

For a family raising a child with special needs, life can be difficult. There are many storms to weather and struggles to address, and we often feel isolated and alone due to the nature of our circumstances. Families have a need to connect and find resources, a need to be encouraged, and a need for hope as we walk down what can be a very hard road at times. Hope on the Hard Road Special Needs Podcast was created for this purpose. Our vision is to grow a thriving community, where families with children of all ages with special needs can feel connected, be encouraged, and find hope for the road ahead.
