The Shifting Perspectives podcast with Billie-Jo Bailey.

When was the last time you heard someone who has Down syndrome on a podcast? Possibly never…….the Shifting Perspectives podcast aims to change that.

In this episode I am joined by my beautiful daughter Billie-Jo. We chew the fat about her school life, her family, friends, boyfriends, walking Hadrians wall, paragliding over Lake Geneva and general life.

Billie-Jo came into our lives 21 years ago and I can honestly say I wouldn’t change her in one single way.

That said, when she was born and we were told that she had Down syndrome I wondered how on earth I was ever going to live with her, now I have no idea how on earth I could ever live with out her!

This podcast and others in the series will raise a smile, provide insight and discussion, and challenge commonly held attitudes and prejudices.

If you want to diversify your listening content and be inspired, why not give this podcast a go.

The Shifting Perspectives Podcast is available on all popular podcast platforms. Don’t forget to subscribe!

The Shifting Perspectives photographic exhibition has been challenging views and stereotypes about Down syndrome for the past 15 years and has looked at many different aspects of the condition. From fitting into the workplace, love and relationship, sport, family life etc.
