Welcome back to The Trend with Justin A. Williams! In this episode, I sit down with Tamara Tuckson, a powerhouse of advocacy and resilience. Tamara is an Academy alumna, a first-place pitch winner, an Academy facilitator, and the CEO and founder of Mission 2 Advocate. But beyond the accolades, her story is one of fierce love, determination, and purpose. Tamara's journey began with a deeply personal challenge: her daughter was diagnosed with Rett syndrome, the most severe form of Autism for females. Doctors painted a grim picture, predicting she wouldn't walk, talk, or have purposeful movements and warning of life-threatening complications. But Tamara and her daughter refused to be defined by those limitations. “We define Rett syndrome—it doesn't define us,” she shares. What started as a fight for her daughter became a mission to empower other families. Tamara transformed fear and vulnerability into strength, mastering the intricacies of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and discovering ways to advocate effectively. Through Mission 2 Advocate, she offers compassion, resources, and guidance to parents navigating similar challenges, proving that advocacy can change lives. Join us as we explore her inspiring journey, the lessons she's learned, and her vision for a more inclusive and compassionate world. You won't want to miss this conversation with Tamara Tuckson, a true advocate on a mission.

From being born into a family with Kristi already navigating the challenges of Rett syndrome, Kourtney's story is one of dedication, loss, and profound love. Kristi was born in 1965 with a rare neurological disorder that affects primarily girls, which led her to lose many of her early developmental skills between 6 and 18 months old. The disorder wasn't formally diagnosed in the United States until 1986, so for the first 21 years of Kristi's life, the family had no name for what she was living with. Kourtney, the youngest of five, was seven years behind her siblings and grew up with Kristi already in a group home. Kourtney's relationship with Kristi went beyond that of a typical sibling dynamic. She served as her sister, caregiver, and advocate, navigating the complexities of Kristi's condition and her family's evolving needs. Despite the challenges, Kourtney's memories are filled with light moments and profound connections, like when Kristi laughed at a joke no one thought she would understand, signaling that “she's in there,” a realization that challenged every assumption they'd been told about her mental capabilities. The family finally received a formal diagnosis of Rett syndrome when Kristi was 21, after a neurologist encountered a presentation by Dr. Andreas Rett, the doctor who discovered the syndrome. This brought a mixture of relief and frustration, as it came too late to change the course of Kristi's treatment, but finally gave the family a name for what they had been living with for so many years. Kourtney became heavily involved in the Rett community, both as an advocate and later as a professional, dedicating her life to helping other families and teaching children with Rett syndrome how to communicate through eye gaze technology. In this episode, Kourtney shares her journey through anticipatory grief, the lifelong process of caring for a sibling with Rett syndrome, and the unique pain of losing not just a sister, but the person who shaped her identity. She reflects on how her life and career have been deeply intertwined with Kristi's presence, leading her to work in the Rett community as an advocate and teacher. Kourtney's story is a testament to the enduring bonds of sibling love, the complexities of grief, and the resilience it takes to rebuild a life after such a significant loss. In this episode: (00:00:55) – Introduction to Kourtney's Family Dynamic and Kristi's Early Years (00:10:09) – Understanding Rett Syndrome and the Impact on the Family (00:18:34) – The Evolution of Kourtney's Role from Sister to Caregiver (00:36:42) – Kristi's Communication Breakthrough with Eye Gaze Technology (00:46:39) – The Final Years: Health Declines and the Emotional Toll (00:51:41) – Grieving Kristi's Passing and Finding Purpose in Advocacy This Episode is Sponsored by The Surviving Siblings.  Connect with Kourtney: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kbjourney75 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kourtney0715/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kourtney.barnum   Connect with Maya: Podcast Instagram: @survivingsiblingpodcast Maya's Instagram: @mayaroffler TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@survivingsiblingspodcast Twitter: @survivingsibpod Website: Thesurvivingsiblings.com Facebook Group: The Surviving Siblings Podcast YouTube: The Surviving Siblings Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheSurvivingSiblingsPodcast

AJ Tesler, an award-winning producer and director who, along with his wife Jenny, is launching Magnolia's Guide to Adventuring, a new documentary video series created with support from Acadia Pharmaceuticals, inspired by their daughter Magnolia's experience with the rare genetic neurodevelopmental disease Rett syndrome. We're also joined by Dr. Cary Fu, a pediatric neurologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, who emphasizes the need for early diagnosis. The video series highlights the adventures children with Rett syndrome can engage in.  While Cary emphasizes the importance of safety and consulting with specialists before pursuing an adventure, AJ and Cary encourage people to recognize the capabilities of children with Rett and focus on what they can do.   AJ explains, "We made a documentary about that experience and those initial steps that we took called Magnolia's Hope, which is available on iTunes and Amazon streaming, as well as a bunch of other places. And in that documentary, my wife so sagely presents it as we want to make sure that when there's a cure, she'll have stories to tell. That's an inspiring way to think about all of this. Her story does not just have to be about Rett syndrome. It doesn't have to be about all the things that she can't do. It can be about all the things that you can do." "Beyond that, it was also about finding families to come along on these adventures with us. Some of the families are adventurous and have tried these things before. Some of them have never done any of these things before. That was part of the creative vision for the entire thing, which was to show that no matter what your disability is, no matter where on the spectrum you are, as long as a doctor says that it's okay to do these things, then, by all means, there are organizations that can help you do these things." Cary elaborates, "I wouldn't say it's necessarily unusual, but I do think that what AJ and Jenny have done with their family is very inspiring. I think families come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. I think the important thing is I encourage all of my families with Rett syndrome to make sure not to allow the diagnosis to define them. To make sure that whatever expectations they had as a family before the diagnosis was made and before they realized that there would be potential limitations and need to make modifications, they should feel free to pursue those things that they wanted, the hopes that they wanted for their child." #RettSyndrome #MagnoliasGuideToAdventuring" #AdventuringWithMagnolia #RettRevealed #AdaptiveSports #AdaptiveAdventures #RareDisease RettRevealed.com Download the transcript here

Due to the rarity of Rett syndrome and overlapping symptoms with other, more common neurodevelopmental disorders, diagnosis is challenging and often missed or delayed. With one Rett-targeted therapy recently approved and others in development, clinicians now have the opportunity to offer not merely symptom management but potential clinical improvement. This PeerView case-based activity is designed to improve your ability to recognize, diagnose, and treat patients with Rett syndrome. Each session features a realistic case discussion with expert faculty panelists sharing the evidence that supports clinical decisions for timely diagnosis and early initiation of multidisciplinary management and targeted therapy as appropriate. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply diagnostic criteria to provide a timely diagnosis of Rett syndrome in patients demonstrating subtle signs and symptoms; Employ evidence-based, age-appropriate care for patients with Rett syndrome in alignment with consensus management guidelines; and Evaluate the evidence surrounding the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of new and emerging therapies for the treatment of Rett syndrome.

Silence is deafening. Freedom is imprisonment. These are the first words that today's guest, Suma, wrote in her journal after her 18-year-old daughter, Shrinidhi died. Although Shrinidhi was never able to walk, talk or even use her hands, the family's home was always bustling with noise and happiness. After Shrinidhi unexpectedly died in her sleep, the silence was indeed, deafening. Since Shrinidhi's diagnosis of Rett syndrome at the age of 2, Suma's life revolved around helping her daughter live her best life. Suma was quite literally her daughter's hands, feet, and voice. When Shrinidhi decided that she wanted to become a published author, it was Suma who sat at her side as her daughter used her eyes on her communication device to write each exact word that she wanted. It might take hours for her to write a single sentence, but the two of them would sit together until it was perfect. Shrinidhi was even able to complete and actually publish her book as well as complete her high school diploma. Her accomplishments became an inspiration for girls with Rett Syndrome around the world. (To buy Shrinidhi's book, Extraordinary Wild Adventures on Amazon, click on link.  Since Shrinidhi died several months ago, Suma has struggled to find purpose. There are not more stories to help write, no homework to make sure she completes, no therapies and no doctor's appointments. In a way, Suma, is more 'free' than she has been for 18 years, but as Suma says, that freedom feels like 'imprisonment'. Suma feels lost. Her world was already isolated before her daughter's death, with her address book primarily consisting of doctors, nurses and therapists, but now, without Shrinidhi to care for, they are simply gone. The once small life now feels microscopic. That is her current struggle, to find purpose for her life after losing Shrinidhi. Right now, part of that purpose feels like reaching out to other moms whose medically fragile children have died so that perhaps they can find a bit of purpose together.
