What if the very first Christmas didn’t look anything like the peaceful, picture-perfect scene we often imagine?

In this special Christmas episode, I reflect on the birth of Jesus through Mary’s eyes… a young mother whose journey into motherhood unfolded in ways she never could have planned or predicted.

If your holidays feel different than you imagined… quieter, heavier, more complicated… or shaped by the realities of parenting a uniquely wired child, this episode offers comfort, perspective, and hope.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• A fresh, reflective look at the Christmas story through Mary’s experience
• Encouragement for parents whose reality feels far from what they imagined
• Hope and meaning in seasons that feel messy or uncertain
• A reminder that God is present and working, even when the journey looks different

This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that even in the unexpected, God’s plans are unfolding with purpose and grace.
