Do you struggle to say no without guilt while parenting a child with a disability, autism, or a rare disease? This episode of The Be Mighty Mom Podcast dives deep into what it means to set boundaries as a disability parent, not just to protect your peace, but to choose love in its fiercest form.
When your child’s needs are high, the world often expects you to keep showing up to every party, every dinner, every request, no matter the cost. But the truth is, you are allowed to put your child first. Without apology. Without overexplaining. And without shrinking your truth to make others comfortable.
In this episode, you’ll hear:✅ How to set firm, loving boundaries that protect your child and your peace✅ What to do when friends or family don’t respect your no✅ A raw personal story about being misunderstood by someone close✅ Why the myth of the “good mom” is toxic for disabled families✅ Gentle reminders to carry when the guilt creeps in
Whether you’re navigating neurodivergence, rare diseases, or medically complex care, this episode is for every parent who’s ever been called dramatic, selfish, or flaky when all you were doing was choosing your child.
You’re not mean. You’re not too much. You are mighty.
