In this moving episode of Energy in Action, host Marcy Young speaks with Angela Schneider, a devoted mother of four, whose daughter Olivia lives with a rare form of mitochondrial disease. Angela shares how Olivia’s diagnosis brought life as they knew it to a halt—leading Angela to leave her full-time job in order to coordinate endless medical appointments, navigate complex school accommodations, and manage Olivia’s frequent surgeries and mobility challenges.
Angela recounts the family’s transformational experience with Dalias’s Wish, a MitoAction program that grants wish trips to families affected by mito.

Angela’s unwavering positivity and devotion to her children shine throughout, offering listeners a poignant glimpse into the resilience and hope that fuel families living with mitochondrial disease.
