Show notes

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!

What the Sacred Siblings Want You to Know with Chris Ioimo Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

The daily needs of our unique children can take up A LOT of space in our lives and the siblings of those children experience that in all kinds of ways. Their lives are just as altered as ours are by their siblings' heightened needs, but they don’t always get permission to express that. What can we actively do, as parents, to help them?

Today’s episode is another great conversation with Family Therapist, Chris Ioimo, about what the siblings need in a disability family.

Chris is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and is the Clinical Director/Supervisor of Journeys Counseling South Bay and Pastoral Coach with Vibrant Living Coaching. Chris is also a regular speaker at churches, community groups, seminars, small groups, and retreats. He has also been a recurring guest on YouTube shows and podcasts focused on mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Chris has been an adjunct professor in the psychology department at a Christian University since 2008 and has been involved in multiple levels of ministry.
