When life turns out differently, it’s all about how you perceive it. For our friend, Raquel Moore (who you may remember from our season of The Amazing Race) life has turned out very differently than she expected. She never thought she’d meet the love of her life. She never thought she’d live in the suburbs of Cleveland. She never thought she’d be a mother to a wonderful little boy, Nico, who has a rare genetic disorder called FOXG1 Syndrome. We asked Raquel to come on the show to talk more about a recent post she made on Instagram. In the post, she gave advice to parents with special needs children. (Advice that I think can apply to all parents and life in general.)

Penn, Raquel, and I talk more about her outlook on this journey as well as our time together on The Amazing Race. (We are so lucky to have a friend like Raquel in our lives.) FOXG1 is still being researched and studied to find a cure. If you feel compelled to donate, you can do so with the FOXG1 Research Foundation. You can learn more about Raquel's mindset & accountability coaching business, where she also helps parents who have children with special needs here: https://www.theraquelmoore.com/
