Listen Later

In this episode of Unshakable, Lovell Casiero sits down with Megan Dolan to share a deeply honest conversation about motherhood, autism, resilience, and learning to give yourself grace when life doesn’t go according to plan.

After her son was diagnosed with autism and selective mutism at just five years old, Megan found herself overwhelmed, afraid, and questioning whether she was equipped to handle the journey ahead.

This episode is about feeling unqualified, carrying the weight of comparison, and discovering that sometimes the very thing that makes you feel like “not the right mom” is exactly what makes you the right one.

What You’ll Learn:
  • Why comparison can become one of the biggest struggles for parents
  • How giving yourself grace changes the way you navigate hard seasons
  • The importance of finding support and community
  • How vulnerability and storytelling can bring healing to others

“What if my son doesn’t get the support he needs because I’m not the right mom?”

Megan shares how writing became an outlet during one of the most difficult seasons of her life, eventually leading to her award-winning one-woman show, Not The Right Mom, which has touched audiences across the country.
