Description

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.
