Shannon shares the shock of early exclusion that began in church, the grief and isolation many new moms feel after diagnosis, and the need for safe, specialized spaces while also educating willing volunteers. The conversation emphasizes community, veteran-mom mentorship, and faith as essential to navigating challenges that can strain marriage, finances, and mental health. Brina also describes starting the Owen Foundation camps and the Owen Academy, lessons learned about reducing overstimulation, and the work behind nonprofits. Shannon closes by urging moms to trust God, keep showing up, and defines a mighty mom as a lion with a war cry.00:00 Meet Mighty Moms00:30 Introducing Shannon Lowe01:30 Cubby’s Diagnosis Story03:39 Early Signs at Church04:19 Building Autism-Friendly Ministry09:56 When Friends Fall Back12:16 Advice for New Moms15:37 Coffee Break Community18:51 Faith and Mental Health Fight21:29 Anger and Faith22:21 Single Mom Encouragement23:37 Owen Foundation Origin25:33 Autism Sports Camps28:54 Nonprofit Reality Check30:32 T4 Autism Mission32:42 Career Shift for Autism34:53 Community and Platforms39:39 Trust God and Show Up41:22 Mighty Mom Definition43:35 Signing Off and SponsorsSupport the showFollow us on YouTube, Facebook, & Instagram @MIGHTYMOMSPODCAST and on TikTok @MIGHTYMOMSBEYONDTHEPOD ------ LIKE, SHARE, & Support our Mission to create a Worldwide Cult of Autism Moms!
