Fran Wilson

I’m Fran, a proud parent of a child with Down syndrome and the creator of Brave & Bright Parents — a digital support system built to empower families like mine. When I first received the diagnosis, I was overwhelmed, under-informed, and desperate for something more than just Google searches and scattered advice.

That’s why I created Brave & Bright: a compassionate, practical blueprint for parents raising children with Down syndrome — packed with real-world tools, emotional support, and the guidance I wish I had from day one.

On podcasts, I love talking about:

• Parenting through the lens of love and advocacy
• Navigating early intervention, IEPs, and building a strong support system
• The emotional journey behind a diagnosis — and how to rise through it
• Creating inclusive spaces and empowering special needs families

If you’re looking for a guest who brings heart, lived experience, and a mission to help families thrive — I’d love to connect.

Let’s have the honest, hopeful conversations that move people forward. 💛
