Coffee and Turner Syndrome

Welcome back to Coffee & Turner Syndrome!

We’re Brooke and Andrea, and each week we pour a cup of coffee and have honest conversations about life with Turner syndrome.

In this episode, we’re reacting to a recent Live Action News article about a couple who received an NIPT result suggesting their baby girl might have Turner syndrome. The mother was considering abortion based on the result, but after the father turned to Reddit for advice, commenters encouraged them to seek further testing rather than make a decision based on a screening test alone.

And then came the twist…

We’re talking about our reactions to the story, what stood out to us, the difference between an NIPT screening and a diagnostic test, and what this story made us think about as women living with Turner syndrome.

We’re also talking about the bigger questions this story raises about prenatal testing, how Turner syndrome is portrayed, and what happens when a diagnosis or possible diagnosis is viewed only through the lens of fear.

Welcome back to Coffee & Turner Syndrome.

We’re Brooke and Andrea, and each week we pour a cup of coffee and have honest conversations about life with Turner syndrome.

In this episode, we’re talking about love, dating, marriage, and the hard conversations that can come with a Turner syndrome diagnosis. We’re joined by the author of Butterfly Kisses, a couples workbook created to help couples navigate meaningful conversations and grow together.

What does it look like to tell someone you’re dating that you have Turner syndrome? When do you have the conversation about infertility? And how can a diagnosis that affects so many parts of your life become something you navigate together rather than something you carry alone?

We talk honestly about the complexities of sharing your diagnosis with a partner, the fears and expectations surrounding infertility, marriage, communication, and what it means to build a relationship where both people feel seen, heard, and supported.

Because Turner syndrome can affect so much of our lives—but it doesn't have to define our capacity to love and be loved. 🦋❤️

☕ Grab your coffee and join us for a conversation about the hard things, the hopeful things, and everything in between.

Welcome back to Coffee & Turner Syndrome.

We’re Brooke and Andrea, and each week we pour a cup of coffee and have honest conversations about life with Turner syndrome.

In this episode, we’re talking about the phrase “I can’t reach that”—both literally and figuratively. Being short with Turner syndrome can come with plenty of everyday challenges, but sometimes the things we’re told we can’t reach have less to do with our height and more to do with other people’s expectations of what we’re capable of.

We talk about being underestimated, the assumptions people can make about Turner syndrome, and what it means to challenge the limitations others place on us.
And we talk about why “I Can’t Reach That” is especially meaningful to Andrea, as it becomes the name of the new podcast she’s starting.

Welcome back to Coffee & Turner Syndrome.

We’re Brooke and Andrea, and each week we pour a cup of coffee and have honest conversations about life with Turner syndrome.

In this episode, we’re talking about the connection between Turner syndrome and diabetes. Andrea shares her personal experience living with diabetes, what that journey has looked like for her, and how it intersects with Turner syndrome.

We also talk about why understanding the health risks associated with Turner syndrome matters—and why hearing real experiences can be just as important as knowing the statistics.
