“Mi mamá nunca me puso obstáculos” - Carlitos el Productor | En Positivo con Lourdes Del Río

In this episode of En Positivo, I talk with Carlitos the Producer about his achondroplasia, the most common type of dwarfism, and how he learned from childhood to see and feel like anyone else. Carlitos remembers the fundamental role of his mother, who never held him back and always taught him that he could do things for himself, even if he had to do them differently. He also talks about how he handles public recognition, the words that can hurt, his love story with Silvia, and the blessing of being a father of two. With great honesty, he recounts how he received the news that his son would be born with the same condition and why he sees it as a blessing. A conversation full of humor, love, and life lessons about acceptance, family, self-confidence, and the importance of raising children without limitations.
