Have Courage, Be Kind, & Advocate: How to have compassion when advocating for your autistic or medically complex child

Season 2, Episode 1 – Have Courage, Be Kind & Advocate
Welcome back to the Be Mighty Mom Podcast! In this powerful season premiere, host Ash returns with a new series and a renewed purpose. Soft Strength is a reflection on what it means to advocate fiercely, without losing your compassion along the way.

Ash opens up about her journey through rare disease diagnoses, autism advocacy, and the emotional toll of constantly being in fight mode. She shares how anger once fueled her and how grace eventually reshaped her.

This episode is for every parent who’s had to speak up when it wasn’t easy, who’s lost relationships in the name of protection, and who’s learning how to advocate with both fire and kindness.

You’ll walk away with the encouragement to stay grounded, speak truth, and protect your peace, even in the messy, everyday moments that catch you off guard.

Because being mighty doesn’t mean being loud, it means being rooted in love.

🎧 Tune in to learn:

• Why anger can be a signal, but not a destination

• How to show up for your child in advocacy without burning out

• What it looks like to let grace carry the fire

Let’s grow in this together.
