Rachel Mohlman is Riley Shidaker’s mother and she was kind enough to share Riley’s journey with us in this podcast. She talked about her pregnancy and the events that lead up to Riley’s cerebral palsy and other conditions (see list below).
As you will hear Rachel is an amazing women, and mother, with high energy, passion and an infinite amount of love for Riley. She talks about the importance of being outside and all of the awesome activites Riley does from cheerleading to surfing and more. They are a true inspiration and I hope you get as much out of this interview as I did.
Enjoy!
