Love this episode? Send me a message here!


Jillian Benfield is a former news anchor and reporter with a
broadcast journalism degree from the University of Georgia. She
and her husband got the surprise of their life when they found
out their unborn son was rockin' an extra chromosome- also known
as Down syndrome. Jillian's writings about living an unexpected
life have been featured on Good Morning American, The Today Show
and Her View From Home.

 We dive deep into Jillian's story of the Unexpected: losing
her career in TV after a military move; a surprise pregnancy and
Down Syndrome diagnosis for her son, Anderson; and other
unexpected left turns in her story of motherhood.

During our conversation, she shares her wisdom and faith with
honesty, thoughtfulness, and authenticity. Jillian shares how she
felt bitter and stuck and how she found her light and hope again
in life. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed
speaking to her!
