“It takes a village to raise a child” ~African Proverb ~
Welcome to the Guilbault Girls Show where you will have the opportunity to hear from mothers, fathers, siblings, and individuals themselves about their journey of living with a disability. We also have special guests on to share the many resources that are available to those living with a disability and their families. So, get ready to laugh, smile, cry, maybe even get a little angry when you hear some of these stories of their day-to-day struggles, but let’s not forget their many triumphs.
I know when I was a new mom, and my child was diagnosed with a disability I felt lost and alone and wondered what comes next. I learned from the ones that came before me and I want to be able to continue to share that knowledge and support to others.
As they say it takes a village, and if it weren’t for our village we wouldn’t be where we are today. So, will you help be that village, help us spread awareness, help us change mindsets, help us teach other’s to be kind to one another…. well you can do that by simply sharing our show to the masses.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Guilbault Girls Show. I am your host Karen Guilbault, and today’s guest Laurieann Enright
Laurieann is a single parent to John and Nicholas, her beautiful identical twin boys. In February 2017 at the age of 5 they were diagnosed with non-verbal autism, global developmental delays, and intellectual disability. She battled aggressive triple negative breast cancer from 2018-2019, and she’s grateful to still be here to care for her amazing boys who are now 11 years old. During her cancer battle she also went through a nasty divorce. She works full-time as a paralegal to provide for her sons. She also has 3 wonderful adult children. The boys and Laurieann moved back to California this summer to be closer to them.
She soldiers on through her days without complaining because she knows how blessed she is. She’s fueled by grit and grace. Her sons make her laugh even on days when she’s too tired to smile! She thinks of herself as a hermit because it's not practical for her to take the boys anywhere by herself. She makes their home life as full as she can.
