My Worst Nightmare with Angie Robinson and son Giancarlo - Episode #123
It’s hard to think of a more jarring scenario than coming home from a fun night out to find your child in the midst of an unexplained medical emergency. The warrior mom lives in all of us though, and when our kids are in crisis she gets her chance to shine!
On today’s episode we hear a story from one such warrior mom, Angie Robinson, whose son Giancarlo gave her a big scare that night but thankfully is here to tell the tale. Not only that, but he’s here with her on the podcast too! Join your host, Jessica Patay, for a lighthearted conversation about getting through the toughest of parenting moments and allow Giancarlo to inspire you with all he’s accomplished despite having autism, diabetes insipidus and being blind. What an impressive pair they are! Enjoy!
