Hey Badasses!

A brand new episode of Autism for Badass Moms drops this Tuesday — and it’s one you don’t want to miss.

This week, we sit down with the courageous and inspiring Brittany Martinez-Rodriguez, a mother of two and wife from Manhattan, New York. Brittany is a fierce advocate and the proud mom of Wesley, her 17-year-old autistic son.

🎧 Episode Title: "When the Strong Break Down"

Brittany shares her deeply personal journey through the emotional trenches of parenting — from guilt and depression to radical acceptance. After being hospitalized following a mental health breakdown, Brittany opens up about what it really means when the strong finally break. And how healing must include caring for our minds and hearts.

Brittany’s mission is lifelong — and this episode is a raw, real reminder of what it takes to survive and thrive in this journey.

This week on Autism for Badass Moms, we’re joined by Debbie Mercado from the Bronx, NY—a badass mom of three beautifully unique children, including her teenage son with a diagnosis of autism, Logan.

Debbie’s journey is one of resilience. After losing not one—but two—partners, she found herself raising Logan alone. But with the help of therapy, faith, and a whole lot of humor, she kept pushing forward.

Now working full time as a paraprofessional in NYC’s D75 division, Debbie reminds us all that even the hardest moments can be teachable ones.

Tune in this Tuesday to hear her inspiring story of love, loss, motherhood, and turning pain into purpose.

This week, we're highlighting a powerful story of resilience and advocacy. Our guest, Ashley, is a mother navigating life with a child who has both autism and Fragile X Syndrome—a dual diagnosis that many parents aren't prepared for, but one that brings important conversations to light.

We discuss what Fragile X is, how it intersects with autism, and what it means to show up every day as a parent, advocate, and nurturer.
