Meet Mimi Giannini, a mother navigating one of the most complex and deeply personal parts of parenting — guiding her daughter into adulthood.

In this episode of Mountain Climbers, Mimi reflects on what it means to raise her daughter, Morgan, who has an intellectual and developmental disability, while supporting her growth and independence in a world that doesn’t always make space for families like theirs. She shares the balance between protecting and letting go, and the ongoing journey of advocating for inclusion, understanding, and belonging.

Those experiences shape how she approaches each stage of life.

Through honesty and reflection, Mimi shares what it means to grow alongside your child, to navigate uncertainty with love, and to continue showing up—not just as a parent, but as an advocate.

This conversation is for every parent thinking about the future. Every family seeking understanding. Every community learning what true inclusion really means.
