There are no words to describe a mother’s love for her children and the lengths she will go to in order to ensure their health and happiness. But at what point do these lengths start taking a toll on the parent’s overall well-being? After her son received an autism diagnosis at the age of two, today’s guest has been in lockstep with him ever since, challenging the perceived limitations and realizing the importance of taking care of herself along the way. This week on Journeys Through Change, my guest Sara Intonato and I are talking about how she helps parents of children with autism heal, lead with confidence, and life a healthy, joyful life.
