Accepting The Unacceptable, Parenting Autism, Epilepsy, Special Needs
I've struggled the last few months and many times have felt lost. Not knowing where I'm going or what I'm doing. And I know that so many of you must be feeling the same way. So, in this episode, I am talking about what it is that we can learn from this situation and how we can do what is called Suffering Consciously.

On this Q&A episode of the podcast, I am responding to a question about how offended we are when we hear the R word. We have to process through all the feelings that come with that because it's inevitable. It's all around us. So, I hope you will get a lot out of this and I would love to hear your thoughts on this as well!

Today we are talking about acceptance. It is my biggest dream for every parent that has a child with special needs because what you can do with acceptance can change the world. But it starts with you. It starts with the mama. And that is what I am here to talk about.

Today’s topic is ALL about bargaining. It is an important stage because it is one that will actually keep us stuck the longest. I don't think we even realize we are doing it. So, in today’s podcast, you'll learn all about what bargaining is and what it isn't, and why it's the foundation for getting to that place of acceptance.

This episode about anger and grieving what your old ideas or thoughts were for your child. It is a previously recorded episode and it's one of the first one I've ever done. I wanted to play it because the discussion of the stages of grief still rings true for any mom or any parent who is processing through a diagnosis for their child.

This is one of THE most important episodes of this entire podcast, and I am replaying these episodes because they still ring true. This episode is all about denial and grieving the child you thought you were going to have. If you are someone who is processing through some sort of diagnosis, listen to this episode and to the next four upcoming episodes and let me know what you think!

In this episode, I am talking about a season of depression that I am currently going through, I share about my journey, and some important advice and resources that have helped me to start overcoming it. I hope this resonates with you if you are in your own season of struggle or depression.

I am interviewing Sherilyn Toro, who openly shares her hopes and fears surrounding her son’s autism diagnosis, how important Early Intervention was to his growth, her grieving process, her daughter's diabetes diagnosis, and how everything has affected her marriage.
info_outlineIn this episode, I am talking to Katie Poirier who was a former physician’s assistant and is now a stay-at-home mom to two kids under two. She talks about the birth of both of her children, Everett and Isla, Postpartum Depression, and her story about recently getting an autism diagnosis for her first child, Everett. It is an amazing conversation about Katie’s story, her growth, and how she has been able to find strength through shared experiences with other autism moms.
