“It's the small choices we make that determine the rest of our lives.” - Robyn Rosenberger   Each year, more than three million children are hospitalized – either for procedures or ongoing treatment for chronic or terminal illness.

“Over time, I've been able to see that the journey does play out without you, so you can either be part of it or not.”-Robyn Rosenberger Today's guest is Robyn Rosenberger, the Founder and CEO at TinySuperheroes, a social enterprise that works to empower extraordinary kids- one cape at a time! Robyn founded TinySuperheroes in 2012 and has been working tirelessly since then to help families and kids overcome illness and disability. In this episode, Robyn discusses the story behind Tiny Superheroes, trusting the journey, and seeing the positive in the most challenging times!

Hey listeners! This week I am sharing part 2 of my conversation with Robyn Rosenberger, mom of 3 and founder & CEO of TinySuperheroes. Robyn explains that Tiny Superheroes was actually started by accident.  She wanted to make a special needs child feel beautiful and special, so she made her a cape.  That's how it began and now the organization sends capes to kids all over the world. Robyn says any diagnosis because part of the mission is to bring together families and show they have a commonality. Finding this connection, big or small, breaks loneliness and the TSH program helps mark the journeys that families go through. Robyn and I talk about how our thoughts are wholly impactful on our feelings and emotions. We don't always have to be happy or rainbows but if what we are thinking and saying is true, that's the emotion we need to be feeling.Please check out Tiny Superheroes and join this amazing community that Robyn has built. Connect with Robyn:Website: http://tinysuperheroes.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/tinysuperheroesFB:  https://www.facebook.com/TinySuperheroes Connect with Kara:IG: https://www.instagram.com/Kararyska/Website: https://www.kararyska.com/Pathway to Peace Consult: Link Here Full Show NotesClick HERE to Join The Special Needs Mom Podcast Community

050: Hey listeners! This week I am sharing part 1 of my conversation with Robyn Rosenberger, mom of 3 and founder & CEO of TinySuperheroes. TinySuperheroes is a company seeking to empower kids and families as they overcome illness or disability.  Robyn actually isn't a special needs mom but she clearly has a servant heart and followed her calling to helping these families and inserting herself into the special needs world.  Robyn shares such a similar passion to help these special needs families. We talk about choosing joy even in life circumstances that are filled with grief, anger and sadness.  We also touch in letting go of typical milestones and goals for our children and just letting them be themselves and find excitement in the journey  Check back next week for more of our conversation!

Sometimes the world around children with a disability or illness doesn't recognize how Extraordinary they are. Surrounded by our community and cloaked in their very own cape, they feel strong, able and proud of their qualities that make them unique. Founder Robyn Rosenberger never imagined the one cape she made would turn into a mission which empowers extraordinary kids as they overcome illness or disability. https://tinysuperheroes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TinySuperheroes/

TinySuperheroes is a superhero cape company with a BIG mission to empower extraordinary kids as they overcome illness or disability. Founder Robyn Rosenberger describes how sewing one cape in 2012 has now turned into an international labor of love which has provided over 15,000 capes to kids! https://tinysuperheroes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TinySuperheroes/ Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks: Colin Kaepernick and Nate Boyer What do they all have in common?

On today’s podcast we welcome Robyn Rosenberger. Robyn is the woman behind Tiny Superheroes, a business based on empowering and uniting extraordinary kids as they overcome illness or disability. She creates tiny capes for children with special needs or severe illness so they know they are truly superheroes. Robyn lives in St Louis, Missouri with her husband and two boys. You may want to grab a box of tissues for this episode and prepare to be truly inspired!

Headfirst...into the Whirlwind! 19:10 -  Making a Profit as a Missional Business 22:30 - Who is Tiny Superheroes for? 30:55 - An Incredible Video (seriously, go watch it!) 33:40 - Balancing Life as a Mompreneur 39:18 - Robyn's Yucky Mom Moment! The very first Tiny Superhero Before relocating back to St Louis, Robyn and her husband lived in Seattle for five years where she worked for a software company.  As her nephew’s birthday approached, she wanted to use her creative side to create a truly awesome present for him. So Robyn completed her first ever sewing project, a tiny cape! During this time she was following the story of Brenna, a little girl born with a rare severe skin condition. She just knew that she should send Brenna a cape to let her and her family know what a superhero she was. With that, the idea for Tiny Superheroes was born! Spreading the Love After sending Brenna’s superhero cape, Robyn was more and more inspired to send them to other children. She wanted to bring them joy and told herself that if the tiny cape made them smile for 10 minutes, it was totally worth it. It was also important to Robyn that children with special needs and severe illness know that from the outside they are seen as true superheroes. Robyn began looking at other stories like Brenna’s and found 10 more children with similar stories and struggles. After she sent these children their own superhero capes, a friend of one of the families unexpectedly wrote a story about Tiny Superheroes and what Robyn was doing on Today.com! Robyn's business took off from there. Because of her mission and the love behind Robyn’s business, she's been featured on some very popular sites and shows. The families of these children have told Robyn how much it means that their struggles are acknowledged and how much extra strength they get from these tiny capes. Robyn feels indebted to these children and their families for teaching her so much and showing her what it really means to be a superhero. Robyn’s Mission Robyn’s children do not have special needs or illnesses but she has a passion for finding the gifts in the children that do. She strives to change how we look at them and their stories. Instead of seeing their differences let’s look at what makes them so strong and so extraordinary. The biggest reward that Robyn sees from Tiny Superheroes is being able to recognize the super powers of these children. Becoming a Business Robyn knew that she wanted to build something that would be sustainable over the long term. This is why she made the decision to become a for-profit business. She knew that her skills and resources would be better suited for a model that follows Tom’s shoe company (when you buy a cape, she donates a cape to a tiny superhero). In order to donate capes, she created a “nomination” system where people could nominate children who needed them. Robyn was overwhelmed by the response she got from Today.com and about six months later, she was featured on ABC World News. It was at this point that Robyn left her full time job to focus on the business.  Robyn had to take the leap before she was sure about what would happen with her business.  But she knew she'd get an influx of orders after ABC World News, so she felt like she either had to jump head-first so she could handle the new orders, or she'd have to decline the interview and shut Tiny Superheroes down.  (I think we all know what Robyn chose to do!) The PR Rollercoaster Tiny Superheroes has received a lot of press which Robyn really sees a blessing. She had a hard time at first balancing this press in her business. She was overwhelmed with orders all at one time, and the business became a roller coaster of work. Robyn also had a hard time figuring out if the business was really sustainable or if she was just getting big pushes of orders because she was being featured on big platforms. Recently, Robyn has spent time looking at the big picture and how to keep her business sustainable through the highs and lows so she can provide capes for many years to come. Hiring Help In the beginning Robyn was sewing all of the capes from her living room with some of her friends. They would often work late at night with the kids in bed! Finally Robyn found a small sewing company out of Seattle that was able to handle all of the sewing for Robyn.  Robyn says the quality of their work is so much better than hers! It has been a balancing act, but now the orders are starting to level out and the business is becoming more consistent. Hiring help is a huge hurdle for a lot of entrepreneurs but it's allowing Tiny Superheroes to continue on their mission.  Robyn can do what she does best - market and share the mission of the business and find new superheroes to support! Jump Headfirst...into the Whirlwind! The first six months of Tiny Superheroes was a whirlwind for Robyn -- including many late nights and a living room covered with fabric. Over time, the business became very stressful for her and her family. She was spending more time worried about orders than focusing on her kids. It became obvious to her that this way of living was not sustainable, but she still wasn’t sure if the business would be financially viable. At first, Robyn tried just working part time at her job, but that didn’t work out very well -- she needed to go back to full time to really perform well in her role. It was at this time that Robyn got the call from ABC World News that they wanted to feature her business.  As we mentioned above, at that moment Robyn had a critical choice to make: jump headfirst or call it quits. It was terrifying for her to leave a great job with financial security and head into the unknown, but this decision really showed Robyn how important her mission was to her.  Tiny Superheroes is still going strong! Making a Profit as a Missional Business Currently Robyn’s business has not yet replaced the income she was making from her full time job. Since Tiny Superheroes donates a cape for every cape that is purchased, it has been difficult to find just the right price point for each cape. So far the business has ebbed and flowed a lot. Sometimes Robyn is able to pay herself and sometimes not. Up until now the capes have been expensive to make and not priced in a way that would keep the business sustainable. This is something that Robyn is currently working to fix. It's difficult to create quality capes, sell them at a reasonable price, and stay true to her mission of giving a cape for each one purchased.  Robyn acknowledges that her business is still growing and managing it financially is still a learning process. Who is Tiny Superheroes for? Tiny Superheroes is for every kid!  Robyn wants all kids to enjoy a beautifully made cape from her company, but it's important to her that people understand when they buy a cape, they're doing so much more than that.  For every cape that's purchased, Robyn gives a cape to a child with an illness or disability, and she also lets the customer know which superhero their cape helped to support. Purchasing a cape is a great opportunity to educate children about special needs and illnesses. This reinforces Robyn’s wish that we recognize the strengths and super powers of these children instead of the differences. Most kids don’t spend a lot of time with other kids with disabilities and severe illnesses so Tiny Superheroes  helps to connect all children together while sharing their stories. An Incredible Video Robyn has found that every time she gets to a point in her business where she questions whether or not she can keep going, a blessing arrives. This time the blessing was in the form of a video created by American Express. They reached out to her and wanted to support her journey, so they came to her house and filmed for hours to tell the story of her business. Robyn has found that the video has been a great tool for brand messaging and getting the word out instead of just generating sales. It's easy for people to watch this video and immediately know what Tiny Superheroes is all about. Seriously, the video is so good - watch it here! Balancing Life as a Mompreneur Although Robyn has not completely figured out how to balance her children and her business, she is getting better every day. Some moms want to be full time moms and some women (like Robyn) need to have another outlet for themselves in addition to being a mom. With her first son, things were seamless, and he was at an age where he could go to daycare while she worked, but when her second son came along everything changed! Robyn found that she was not doing anything at 100%. Robyn tries to learn from what other moms in her situation are doing and find the best way to balance it all. For her right now, it works best to have both kids in daycare on a regular basis. They are doing great, and she is able to focus on work during that time. Robyn's Yucky Mom Moment! You'll have to tune in to hear this one. I don't care to explain all the details! Find Robyn Online! TinySuperHeroes.com

Above and Beyond It's so nice to have supportive people around me who feel like I'm doing something exceptional by being Betty's mom. But I'll let you in on a little secret: I don't feel exceptional. I feel like a regular mom who is doing what I need to for my daughter to have the best chance at a good, happy, fulfilling life. I feel like I'm doing what any other mom would do in my position. And often I feel like I'm not doing enough. Even though I feel like raising Betty is a great privilege for me and my husband, the day-to-day duties of caring for her are as routine to me as slapping together a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for your typical kid is to you. That doesn't mean it's not hard, but it is something that is part of our life because it has to be. A Super Big Mission Today's mini episode features Robyn Rosenberger, a mom who is going far beyond her motherly obligations in an attempt to change the world. And I feel like she's doing a pretty incredible job. Robyn is the founder of TinySuperheroes - a tiny cape company with a super big mission. She sews and sells capes for kids and dogs and for each cape that is sold, one is donated to a child who is overcoming disability or illness. When I spoke with Robyn earlier this year, she had sent more than 6,000 capes to children who are overcoming. Her mission is to empower extraordinary kids who exemplify strength and determination, one cape at a time. To me, that is exceptional. Join the Crusade Hear Robyn's story - why she started making capes and what she's hoping to accomplish, in today's mini episode. If you'd like to participate in Robyn's cape crusade, please consider purchasing a cape for a special child in your life OR sponsor a cape for a child who is overcoming. You can also nominate a child who is overcoming to get on the waiting list for capes! Either way, a cape will be sent to a tiny superhero and I guarantee it will make their day.
