Michael and Janis welcome back a special guest, one who generously works behind the microphone and behind the scenes- AND is a mom of two boys, one of whom has autism. Who can it be? Welcome back, Kirsten Coldiron! In her usual candor, Kirsten talks about finding the right fit with doctors, caregivers, and everyday people who interact with families, including hair stylists, grocery store passersby and everyone in between. Kirsten shares what is been like on her trips to Holland with PJ, with occasional detours to Spain. She also talks about how her whole family celebrates the everyday wins, and the big milestones. And the people outside of her family who make it possible. For parents and professionals- we see you. And you don't want to miss this episode!

Farha, a solo mom of Vincent, a young boy with autism, shows us how to find the beauty in everything - even the hard stuff (like poo in a pool). Her perspective on "get to" instead of "have to" is life changing. Please don't miss this!
