Breaking Barriers and Redefining Strength with Camille Robinson
On this unfiltered episode of Conquering Your Clownfish, we dive into the raw and powerful journey of Camille Robinson—a mother, podcast host, and relentless community force. Camille's story isn’t just about raising her son, Mason, who lives with congenital heart disease and autism—it’s about shattering expectations, defying the odds, and proving that adversity doesn’t define your destiny.
From surviving an abusive relationship as a young mother to reclaiming her power through faith and community, Camille refuses to let society dictate her story. She gets candid about the brutal realities of raising a child with disabilities—the toll on mental health, the impact on marriage, and the unspoken struggles that many families face but few dare to talk about.
This conversation isn’t just about parenting; it’s about dismantling outdated narratives and showing up fiercely for the ones we love. Camille shares the pivotal moments that transformed her into an unshakable advocate for special needs families and why she believes that waiting for support isn’t an option—you have to build it yourself.
She also gives us an inside look at Moments of Joy Fest, a groundbreaking event dedicated to uplifting families who often feel unseen, and her upcoming book, 100 Days of Encouragement for Families Raising Children with Special Needs—a must-read for anyone seeking hope, resilience, and unapologetic truth.
This episode will challenge your perspectives, ignite your determination, and remind you that real strength isn’t about having it all together—it’s about refusing to give up.

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.
