Raising a Child, Navigating a System | Mountain Climbers Podcast

Season 1 · Episode 3

Friday, March 27, 2026 • Duration 31:58

Tina Underwood knows what it means to raise a child while navigating systems that don’t always come with a roadmap.

In this episode of Mountain Climbers, Tina shares her journey raising her son, Kevin, who has an intellectual and developmental disability, and the reality of working through schools, therapies, and service systems along the way. What begins as a parent trying to do what’s best for their child often becomes something more—learning how to advocate, speak up, and push for the support their child deserves.

Those experiences shape not only the path forward, but the role a parent is asked to step into.

Through honesty and reflection, Tina shares the emotional weight of becoming an advocate while still wanting to simply be a parent. She speaks to the challenges, the learning curve, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up—for your child, and for others walking a similar path.

This conversation is for every parent navigating systems that feel overwhelming. Every family learning how to find their voice. Every advocate working to make those systems better for the next.

Those experiences shape how she approaches each stage of life.

Through honesty and reflection, Mimi shares what it means to grow alongside your child, to navigate uncertainty with love, and to continue showing up—not just as a parent, but as an advocate.

He shares the emotions and uncertainty that followed her diagnosis, and the moment they realized the road ahead would require strength, resilience, and unwavering love.

Those early moments shaped everything that followed.

Through honesty and reflection, Ranga shares what he learned about advocacy, perseverance, and the responsibility parents carry to be a voice for their children.

This conversation is for every parent who remembers that moment. Every family learning to find their footing. Every advocate climbing their own mountain.
