In part two of this episode, Tricia opens up about the joys and challenges of raising her son, Robert, who manages multiple conditions and disabilities, including dyslexia, tourrettes, bipolar disorder and more; shares the emotional rollercoaster of his medical journey, from misdiagnoses to breakthroughs; and discusses how his experiences have shaped their family. Then, we dive into Tricia’s own experience with vision loss due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a genetic condition affecting multiple members of her family; illustrate how despite the obstacles, Tricia's resilience and determination led her to launch Blind Girl Designs, a fashion company celebrating and empowering the visually disabled community; and explore the unique design process she's developed, relying on her mind's eye and tactile techniques to create beautiful and functional products. Throughout, Tricia's story showcases the power of perseverance, adaptability, and the unwavering love between a mother and her son.
