Customer Reviews
Helpful encouragement for moms. 🙌🏼
Just found your show on YouTube and loved hearing your convo with Maureen Brice. Following here so I can listen when I’m in the go with my adult son with autism. 💛

Invaluable insight, resources and HOPE
Thank you so much, Brigitte and Joseph, for creating this podcast! I am also an educator and mother guide for a very bright, high-functioning little boy. Early intervention has made ALL THE DIFFERENCE for us, and that is just by enrolling him in an early childhood special education program in our neighborhood within our local school district. We still have quite a way to go, but I appreciate hearing about your experiences from both perspectives (mother and son). One major struggle we still have is with anxiety, self-regulation and sensory issues, primarily with eating. Listening to the therapies and approaches that worked for your family has inspired me to do mord focused work with my son at home on these areas (especially oral desensitization). I look forward to listening to the rest of the episodes and learning more about Joseph’s journey!
A lifeline of compassion and guidance
I am so glad that I found Brigitte Shipman and her “Mother’s Guide” podcast. Her vulnerability and insights are so valuable and relatable I can feel a shift in my perspective after listening and so appreciate the resources and insights offered. Thank you Brigitte and Joseph for sharing your journey!
