The Grit and Grind of Autism- Finding Light Along the Journey
Let’s be real — autism parenting is tough. It’s gritty, it’s raw, and it can feel unbelievably lonely.
Welcome to the space where we say the quiet parts out loud. We’re diving into the messy, emotional, unfiltered truth of raising a child with autism — the things most people are afraid to talk about. These are the conversations that need to happen.
If you’ve ever felt isolated, judged, exhausted, or like no one truly gets it — this is for you.
This journey isn’t easy, but there is light to be found — in connection, in truth, in resilience. Together, we’ll explore tools, share stories, and hold space for the hard stuff and the hope.

Seizures and Hospitals... A Personal Discussion With One Of My Besties
It’s been 23 days since my sons last seizure. It was awful. It was traumatizing. You never get use to epilepsy. This one was by far the worst one yet. I felt deep in my soul that I needed to share this experience. Very thankful to my dear friend Juliet Gilden for talking with me so I could tell this part of our story.
