Blessed With Support

Episode Summary

In this episode, Michele Uriarte-Beards shares her journey as the mother of actor and voiceover artist Miguel Gabriel. When Miguel showed early signs of speech and movement challenges, Michele navigated the uncertainties of finding the right support. Facing resistance—even from within her own family—she remained determined to help her son thrive. In addition to exploring various therapies, she found unexpected help in the theatre community, which not only provided Miguel with a creative outlet but also set him on a path to a professional acting career. Michele also reflects on Miguel’s experience with bullying—how those who once bullied him ultimately became his bodyguards. It’s a powerful parallel to his journey from struggling with speech to becoming a successful voiceover actor.
