Agape Love

About Agape Love

Agape Love is a podcast about the extraordinary, unconditional love parents have for their children with disabilities and neurodivergence—and the strength, grief, joy, resilience, and community that grow from that love. Agape Love isn't a podcast about autism. It's a podcast about the parents who love children with disabilities with a kind of love that has no conditions and no expiration date. Who needs to hear this? This podcast is for the mother who just heard the words, “Your child has autism,” and has no idea what tomorrow looks like. It’s for the mother whose child wandered away from home and was found in a dangerous situation—and who still replays those terrifying moments in her mind. It’s for the mother who feels like no one in her family truly understands what life is like inside her home. It’s for the mother carrying guilt because one child needs so much of her that her other children receive what’s left. It’s for the mother who wishes co-parenting looked different—who longs for someone else to understand, advocate, and share the weight of this journey. It’s for the mother who hasn’t slept through the night in years because her child doesn’t sleep. It’s for the mother who constantly thinks three steps ahead because safety is never something she can take for granted. It’s for the mother who dreams about self-care but can’t imagine finding the time, the support, or the resources to make it possible. It’s for the mother whose heart overflows with joy when her child sings in a choir concert, says a new word, makes a friend, or simply experiences a moment of belonging. It’s for the mother who wants nothing more than for her child to experience kindness, acceptance, dignity, and the goodness this world has to offer. Most of all, it’s for the parent who has ever whispered to themselves, “I feel so alone.” I want them to know they aren’t. Because somewhere, another parent is carrying the very same hope, fear, exhaustion, and unconditional love. Agape Love is where those parents find each other. It’s where we remind one another that while this journey can feel incredibly lonely, we never have to walk it alone.

   Episode 9: Sometimes She’s Ready Before I Am

   Send us Fan Mail How do we know when we’re protecting our children—and when our own fears might be holding them back?

It’s a reminder that sometimes our children are growing right in front of us, and they may be ready long before we are.

   Episode 8: I Am More Than a Caregiver

   Send us Fan Mail When so much of your life is spent caring for others, it can be easy to lose sight of yourself.

   Episode 7: Who Will Love Her When I'm Gone?

   Talk to me One of the hardest questions a parent of a child with disabilities can face is, “What happens when I’m no longer here?” In this episode of Agape Love, I explore how that fear has evolved into preparation, planning, and trust in the village surrounding my daughter. It’s an honest conversation about siblings, support systems, adulthood, and creating a roadmap for the future—because the goal isn’t to find someone to replace you. It’s to build a life around your child that will contin...

   Episode 6: Learning to Dream Differently

   Talk to me What happens when the future you imagined for your child begins to look different? In this episode of Agape Love, I reflect on raising twin daughters whose lives have unfolded along very different paths—and what their journeys have taught me about expectations, comparison, acceptance, and possibility. It’s an honest conversation about realizing that different doesn’t mean less. Sometimes we don’t have to stop dreaming for our children—we simply have to learn to dream differently.

   Episode 5: Finding Your Village

   Talk to me Raising a child with disabilities was never meant to be a journey we navigate alone. In this episode of Agape Love, I share stories of the unexpected people who became part of my village—showing up for me and my children in ways they may never have realized mattered. It’s a heartfelt reminder that support doesn’t have to be enormous to be life-changing. Sometimes, simply showing up is enough.

   Episode 4: What About the Other Children?

   Talk to me When one child has significant needs, the entire family adapts. In this episode of Agape Love, we explore the often-unspoken realities of raising multiple children when one requires more time, attention, and support—the guilt, sacrifices, changing family roles, and unexpected growth. It’s an honest conversation about learning that equal love doesn’t always mean equal time or equal experiences—and that sacrifice and growth can both be true.

   Episode 3: Look how far we've come

   Talk to me In this episode of Agape Love, we celebrate the milestones that may seem ordinary to others but mean everything to families raising children with disabilities. It’s a conversation about redefining success, honoring progress, embracing different timelines, and recognizing the incredible growth that can happen one victory at a time. Sometimes we’re so focused on what comes next that we forget to stop, look back, and say, “Wow…look how far we’ve come.”

   Episode 2: The Loneliness Nobody Talks About

   Talk to me Who checks on the caregiver? In this episode of Agape Love, I open up about the loneliness that can come with raising a child with disabilities—the constant vigilance, the guilt of dividing your time between children, the isolation when friends don't understand, and the reality of creating a home that works for your family, even when it doesn't look like everyone else's. This episode is a reminder to every parent and caregiver who spends so much time making sure everyone else is o...

    Talk to me In this deeply personal introduction, I share the story that inspired this podcast—my journey as the mother of a daughter diagnosed with autism at just two years old. From the uncertainty of those early days to the loneliness, resilience, and unconditional love that have shaped our family's life over the past 17 years, this episode is an honest conversation about what it really means to parent a child with disabilities. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or alone on y...
