Meet Robin, a wife, entrepreneur and mom who does what so many of us do daily – juggles marriage, work, parenting, church, friends, extended family – but Robin does it all with grace and joy despite the added responsibility of raising and championing on behalf of Wyatt, her differently-abled child. 

Robin had the usual hopes and dreams of marriage and family life, but those dreams were dashed when Wyatt went without oxygen for 17 minutes upon his birth. His traumatic entrance into this world changed the trajectory of Robin's life forever. 

Robin shares how a change of perspective and a complete surrender to God's will has grown her in ways unimagineable. 

And if you want to connect with Robin beyond this episode you may:
