Episode Synopsis

**content warning: This episode contains a reference to an ableist slur, mentioned in context of sharing a personal story about discrimination**When Erin’s severely autistic son had a rough day, she felt overwhelmed, alone, and convinced it was somehow punishment for something she had done. But a call to her husband, and a moment in John 9:1-3, changed everything. In this honest conversation, Erin shares how God met her in the middle of her hardest parenting moments, turned her perspective from punishment to purpose, and reminded her to put every burden at His feet. Whether you’re parenting through special needs, walking through a refining season, or simply needing to be reminded of God’s nearness, this episode will encourage your heart.🎧 Listen in for:Parenting a child with autismLetting go of guilt and shameThe impact of leaning into God’s wordAll the places to listen, connect, & share your story : https://linktr.ee/strongasamotherofficialJoin the Strong as a Mother Facebook Community - https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AtpSjvMU6Follow on Instagram - @strongasamotherofficial Share your motherhood story (anonymously or by name) - https://www.jotform.com/252156992848068
