Jody, thank you so much for your knowledge , caring and must of it the love I feel through your words and análisis; so real and comforting. I already ordered the book you suggested and enjoy how you view it in your own experience! Thank you so much for so many answers I found in your podcast and advises. I am energetic and ready to apply all this knowledge to my own experience. Please keep us informed and much blessing to your daughter and family! jag

Thank you for such an honest and real podcast about what we SpEd parents go through. Hearing what you have to say helps us all realize that we are not alone.

I’ve just begun the journey with my almost 3yr. Old with no formal diagnosis and listening to this podcast has been helpful A ton as I try to navigate and advocate for my son. I’m thankful to listen as you share Your story and it’s opened my eyes to things I never considered (like the benefits of not trying to shoulder everything)

My 5 year old daughter is autistic and I’ve known since she was 8 months old. In the beginning my family and friends dismissed my concerns. I’ve felt so alone, guilty, angry, and resentful - helpless. Jody’s podcast has completely touched my heart and jolted my negativity and depression BACK into being a great mom for my daughter instead of focusing on the negative, I’ve been re-training my brain and focusing on the positive. I need to be 1000% so I can be 2000% for my daughter. This podcast has helped me SO much.

I loved the interview with Val... she is an Amazing Mom and I hope I am a mother to my 2 with ASD like she is when they get older. Jess is great and I love her. My two older kids remind me of Hannah and I hope the have that bond when they become adults. Jody thanks so much for doing these. Seeing the lives of other Austin parents is wonderful. I just adore your family. Remy is just the cutest little one.. hugs

I love this podcast, so genuine and heartfelt. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and letting us know we’re not alone.

Accepting the unacceptable is a wonderful podcast for people looking for help with special needs parenting. Jody is so caring, open and goes over and beyond. No matter what situation we’re in, there’s an episode we can learn from.

Just .... so heart felt. Don’t listen unless you’re ready for that good kinda cry !

Help me have a better understanding

I get to listen to this podcast on my way to work - I feel like I’ve laughed, cried, learn to accept and be grateful all while listening to Jodi feel my feelings. It’s a great listen I recommend it highly

This is an amazing podcast for parents with kids with autism or any other special needs. Jody is so honest and upfront about everything. I love that and I can totally relate to a lot of things she feels and goes through! Thank you Jody! This is amazing!

A thorough and thoughtful podcast about the real life struggles, challenges, and joys of life with special needs kiddos. I have two special needs kids and two typical kids. Jody does a great job covering a variety of topics and giving ideas to others on how to connect and help their kids interact more fully with the world around them. This would be a great listen for family and friends of special needs families who want an inside view and perspective of this kind of life. Sometimes it’s hard to explain these struggles to others, but Jody breaks it down to better understand and bring us all closer together.

Love love love listening to the podcast, Jody speaks form the heart on relatable and actionable topics. Every autism parent will find joy listening to what Jody has to offer!

This podcast helped me feel less alone. I just recently found out about my child having autism and was looking for a way to deal with it….then I found this podcast. Jody is a positive light when you are feeling lonely in this new journey of life!

I already listed to all of your episode and I love it. You have made me cry, laugh and more than that u have made my journey with my son less painful. Thank you

I can’t wait to continue hearing more of your podcast! Every single word really connects to my heart. Remy has a huge purpose through her trials and continue to fulfill it through the passion of your words Jody and inspiration. Love Love Love!!

The first season was great but the second season is even better so far! The raw emotion and unapologetic truth that Jody speaks with reaches right to my heart. I laugh and cry during almost every episode and it’s been so healing for my mama heart.

Turn on Jody and turn her up! Jody you honestly and sincerely open up to us, and you are a blessing. Hearing your experiences allows me to dissect my own and you are helping me heal and accept. Thank you.

I wish I had this podcast when I first seen those early signs of autism. She talks about it all. All the stages you go through. How it’s OKAY to go through them and the many blessings autism has to bring. I find this so relatable and her voice is so soothing and you feel like you’re just sitting with your best friend talking about your feelings.

I love how relatable and uplifting you are. So inspiring!

Jody! Everytime when I listen to your Podcast it amazes me everytime. You speak the truth and are so real and vulnerable, and that's something a lot of people are not in this world. You have an authenticity in your voice. I have learned so much about seizures and autism. I am so proud of this podcast and YOU!. People need to hear you and what you have to say. I can't wait for where this journey will take you. Hugs!

I found Jody on Instagram first then saw that she had a podcast and decided to check it out. I’m so glad I did! I have learned so much in just the few episodes I’ve listened to so far. Jody is so warm and engaging and I’m very impressed with her content. I can tell this podcast is her baby, she puts her heart into it and you can tell! 💙💙💙🧩

Can I rate my own podcast? Yes you say? Why thank you, don't mind if I do.😉 This podcast is for the mom who finds herself doing motherhood completely different than she pictured. The mom who thought life was going one way and then the diagnosis happened. Her child has autism, or epilepsy or adhd and she has to figure out how to throw out all the parenting rules she's grown up with. It's for the mom who is looking to cope. Who's looking for some guidance. Who just wants to find happiness and to know she's not doing as bad as she thinks. It's for the mom who loves her child so much and wants to envision a life of happiness for her child. It's for the mom who would do anything and everything to see her child smile. If your this mom, this podcast is for you. I'm so glad you stopped by. I've been waiting to meet you. With so much love, Jody

I am a new listener and I am loving this show! As a fellow autism mama I can relate to so much of what Jody is saying. She is a fantastic host! I can’t wait to listen to more! ❤️

While my children do not have a disability or suffer from seizures, this podcast has been so insightful as a mom. I’ve also enjoyed learning more about your family’s journey. Thank you for being so transparent and giving the gift of truth❤️

I love your podcast! I randomly found you this morning and I’ve been binge listening all day. The first episode was about anger and grieving and it helped me so much today. I have a 5 year old daughter named Marley with autism and epilepsy as well. It’s crazy! I have a 15 month old boy. Also I heard you mention in a different intro that your daughter has a rare genetic condition. Marley has 2q37.3 gene deletion syndrome that caused her autism and epilepsy. Thank you for your kind inspiring words. It definitely helped me from exploding all my built up anger and ruining a valued relationship with some family Members today.
