If I could go back in time in my autism motherhood journey, what would I do differently? Today, I share with you a few things I really wish I could go back and change. Don't worry, this episode isn't all "woe is me" and packed with regrets....instead, it's sort of a call to action on how we can be more intentional TODAY.

Mamas! I can't believe it's been EIGHT months since I've chatted with you. So I'm kicking off this episode with a long overdue update you on the changes that have happened the last few months, share the goals I have (personal as well as for the Intentional Autism Mama Community), and provide updates on how we can connect.

I hope you enjoy this episode, and don't forget....DM me your BIG AUDACIOUS GOAL for 2024!!!!

Mamas, let's chat about what self care IS, what it ISN'T, and what's keeping us from taking the very best care of ourselves each day!  We all say that we'd DIE for our children, but let's start LIVING for them right here, right NOW.  

In this episode I share a few self-care habits I'm really prioritizing in this current season of life.  Plus, we tackle the #1 excuse that holds most of us back from incorporating a self care routine into our daily lives....can you guess what excuse that is??

Thanks for tuning in!  Follow me on IG at @jamielinbrown for daily encouragement and more BTS.  Love you all!

Hi mamas!  I hope you enjoy this special episode which shares how we ended up celebrating Phoenix's recent birthday, and responding to YOUR questions!  Learn how we came up with his name, how he was initially diagnosed, what are his sensory challenges, has he ever tried AAC, and more!

I've often used the analogy/metaphor that the autism journey is more of a marathon, rather than a sprint.  And while I still believe that's true, endless miles of jogging just doesn't inspire joy or creativity in me!  Instead, I really look at my motherhood as Intentional Cross Training.  The more I work on my strength (mind), my cardio/endurance (heart), my flexibility (stretching my limits of what's possible), my nutrition (relationships that fuel me), etc., the more equipped and strong I feel as an autism mama!  

Hi Mamas!  I'm so excited to welcome you to the very first podcast episode!  In this short episode we're going to take inventory of how our motherhood looked/felt in 2022.  From there, we will be better able to create a vision for 2023!  So grab a notebook, pen, a cup of coffee or tea, and let's dive in!
