    26 | Parenting Children with Autism: Trusting Your Motherly Intuition and Never Giving Up with Kristin LeBaron

    In honor of Autism Awareness Month 🧩💙 In this special episode of Building Yourself with Grace, I’m joined by a very special guest—my mom, Kristin LeBaron—as she shares her powerful journey raising children on the autism spectrum. At a time when there was very little information and support available, Kristin had to navigate uncertainty, difficult medical advice, and overwhelming challenges—all while learning to trust her motherly intuition and never give up on her children. In this conversation, we talk about what it really looks like to walk through autism as a family, how to recognize when something isn’t right, and the importance of advocating for your child even when others may not understand. Kristin shares practical wisdom for parents navigating an autism diagnosis, including seeking second opinions, finding the right support, and thinking creatively to meet your child’s unique needs. We also talk about the emotional side of motherhood—how to care for yourself in the process, trust your instincts, and continue showing up even when it feels hard. If you are parenting a child with autism, navigating a difficult season, or simply feeling overwhelmed as a mom, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone—and that you are exactly the mom your children need. With faith, persistence, and support, beautiful things can come from even the hardest situations. 🧩💙 Mentioned Resources Your Health Freedom Your Health Freedom is a Utah-based organization, dedicated to the promotion of informed consent.  https://www.yourhealthfreedom.org/  ✨ Quote by Lynn G.

There is no singular, perfect, absolute best way to be. There are hundreds of styles of good mothering, every one of which can turn out terrific kids. Some kids blossom best around a soft-spoken, gentle mother. Others like high-energy exuberance. Some kids need a tough, no-nonsense mom, while a sensitive, lenient one is right for another.

    25 | The Inside-Out Model: How Your Thoughts Shape Your Identity and Actions

    Happy Autism Awareness Month!🧩🩵 In this episode, I’m sharing something I learned while working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) that completely changed how I understand behavior—not just in kids, but in myself. We often think our actions just happen, but there’s actually a process happening underneath: our thoughts shape our emotions, our emotions influence our beliefs, our beliefs form our identity, and our identity drives our actions. When you begin to understand this “inside-out” model, it can completely shift how you see yourself, your patterns, and your ability to grow. In this episode, we’ll walk through: How your thoughts shape your emotions How emotions reveal your beliefs How beliefs form your identity How your identity drives your actions And how to begin shifting this from the inside out This is a simple but powerful framework that can help you move from feeling stuck to becoming more aware, intentional, and grounded in who you truly are. And most importantly, we’ll talk about how your true identity isn’t defined by your thoughts or your past—but by who God says you are. 💛 Ways to Grow & Connect 🌿 Apply for The Grace-Minded Mom Coaching Program ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/181SEjz1FKJ-X7txovGEMptOpt8fIRknM/view?usp=sharing 💛 Find Me on Instagram ➤ @buildingyourselfwithgrace 📬 Email me directly: ➤ https://buildingyourselfwithgrace.kit.com/resources
