Conversations with Nicole: August 17, 2022, Shannon Urquiola, Owner and Founder of Not Your Average Autism Mom

Moms need support too!!  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 44 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder.  While the journey is challenging for these children, it's equally as difficult to know how to parent a child with autism.  Thankfully, there is support for mothers who need help in their parenting journey.  It's the sisterhood of Not Your Average Autism Mom. My guest for this Conversations with Nicole is Shannon Urquiola, the owner and founder of Not Your Average Autism Mom.  She is a  Master Certified Parent Coach and works exclusively with moms raising a child or children diagnosed with autism.  Shannon has two grown children.  Her son, Jordan,  is 25.  He was diagnosed with autism when he was five and the reason why Shannon started a Private Sisterhood to help mothers, "reduce self-doubt in parenting, lower your stress level, and learn coping strategies to manage your own well-being."  I hope you find today's show informative, encouraging and enlightening.  I also hope you'll share it with someone who may need to hear Shannon's message.  To learn more about Shannon and her sisterhood visit www.notyouraverageautismmom.com .  #conversationswithnicole #casuallyspeaking #notyouraverageautismmom #autism #mom #sisterhood
