Cynthia Veronica

I am the mother of two beautiful children. My oldest is a boy, Sebastian, and has achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. My youngest is a girl, Samantha. They are two years apart. This channel documents my journey about self-discovery, inspiration, and connection, as I navigate motherhood and balance it with self-care. As part of my journey I have and am still discovering what an incredible opportunity I have been given to raise amazing children, including one with differences. I have learned a lot about embracing diversity and finding peace and serenity throughout the process.
