We’re Dan and Andrea Kotter—parents of six, best friends, and partners in chaos. After Dan’s accident left him paralyzed, life changed—but so did our perspective. On this podcast, we share the real, unfiltered journey of raising a big family, navigating marriage, disability, faith, and finding joy in the mess. It’s raw, it’s honest, and sometimes hilarious. Whether you’re here for the parenting stories or the deeper conversations—we’re glad you’re here.
