Episode Details

What happens when one of life’s hardest moments becomes the beginning of something you never could have imagined?

When Angela Ricketts’ five-year-old son was diagnosed with choroideremia (CHM), a rare progressive eye disease, her family’s world changed.

What began with fear, uncertainty and questions about her son’s future eventually led Angela back to something she'd done as a little girl.

In this episode of Where’s the Honey?, Angela joins Rebecca to talk about her family’s experience with progressive vision loss, the community they found along the way, and the creation of a movement that is helping to fund CHM research.

It’s a beautiful example of something we talk about often here:

Finding the Honey doesn’t mean pretending the hard thing isn’t hard. 

The Honey is what grows from it.

Angela’s story is about motherhood, hope, community, perspective—and turning an experience she never wanted into something that is now helping other people.

🍯 There is honey in everything.

A quick production note: We experienced some audio challenges with our guest’s recording during this conversation. I cleaned up as much as possible while preserving Angela’s story. Thanks for listening past a few imperfect moments—the conversation is worth it. 💛
