Shannon Urquiola, Not Your Average Autism Mom
I am mom to two amazing young adults. My son Jordan is 25 and was diagnosed with autism
when he was 5-years old. He also has a younger sister Madison who is 23. My journey to
today really began on the day I got Jordan’s diagnosis.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. Being so confused, not being able to stop the tears,
asking WHY ME? Those feelings of being alone when no one in my family had a child with
autism, all my friends who had their children before me, none of them had a child with autism?
When you have a child with autism you find yourself feeling isolated and alone.
I spent 10 years building an Educational Advocacy company and working with special needs
families and advocates across the US when Jordan was in middle and high school. During
those years, the realization that Jordan would be living with me forever became noticeably clear.
That was my reality, so I knew I had to figure out how I was going to embark on that journey
showing up every day as the best version of myself. It was at that time I began working with a
Life Coach, and through that coaching and training, I began to really understand how I needed
to think differently to feel differently and it was truly a turning point in my life.
I went on to become a certified Life Coach and today, inside of our private membership, not only
do we have an array of autism training and resources that they need along this unique parenting
journey, but we include an entire coaching program as well. I am coaching our moms on
becoming more confident and courageous throughout their parenting journey.
I am extremely passionate about the world of autism and more specifically the challenges that
moms raising a child with autism have along the way. We are a place for them to learn and
grow forming friendships along the way with other moms traveling the same journey. It is truly
an amazing place to be.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
