Being a parent to a child with autism can be deeply rewarding and profoundly exhausting.

In this episode, I open up about my own journey as a mom to a non-verbal autistic son and the emotional rollercoaster that came with it. I talk about the guilt I carried, the denial I sat in, and the moment I realized I couldn’t pour from an empty cup.

More than anything, I want you to know you're not alone. You deserve support just as much as your child does. Whether it's a five-minute breather, a gratitude journal, or simply asking your partner to step in, every small act of self-care matters.

Tune in now to hear my story and gather simple, meaningful ways to care for your heart while raising your child with love. The Other Side of Autism: Caring for Yourself While Raising a Child With Autism
