Parenting a child with additional needs can change everything you thought you knew about family, faith and yourself. But it can also uncover a deeper strength, joy and grace you never knew you had.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with pastor and mother Alice Cantelon to talk about navigating her son’s autism diagnosis and the journey of rebuilding family life with courage and faith. From learning new rhythms to choosing joy on hard days, Alice shares how acceptance became a pathway to peace and purpose.

We explore how faith, unity and perspective can hold a family together when life changes course. Alice’s story is a reminder that strength is built in the ordinary, and that joy often appears in the places we least expect it.

What if the version of you that grows through challenge becomes the most grounded and joyful one yet?

Watch as our co-hosts Julia Strachan and Sinead Minkah sit down with Alice for Ep 84: The Diagnosis That Shaped Us, Not Defined Us.
