38. Autism, Co-parenting & Forgiving Yourself with Yesenia

Author: New Age Mamas March 31, 2023 Duration: 52:14

What's poppin' new agers! This week we have an amazing episode with our guest Yesenia! We love the vulnerability and honesty when moms come to the podcast.

Yesenia is a caring and loving mother of an autistic 8-year-old boy named Aiden. She has her bachelor's degree in psychology and soon to be a grad student for clinical mental health counseling. She’s been co-parenting with her son's father since he was 1 year old, through the high and lows. She is a huge advocate for women and single mothers. She was raised in a single parent household, but generations and parenting approaches have changed and is happy to connect with parents who are going through the same.


April is Autism Awareness Month

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder? | CDC if you have autism, have a child with autism, know anyone with autism, just know you are not alone and we are here to talk <3



New Age Mamas is a conversation for a specific generation of parents. It’s a space where the unique challenges and aspirations of Gen Z and Millennial mothers are centered, moving beyond simple advice to explore the real work of reshaping family dynamics. This podcast digs into the simultaneous navigation of timeless parenting struggles and entirely modern dilemmas, all through the lens of conscious change. The core mission is about more than survival; it’s focused on the intentional breaking of generational cycles, the practical application of gentle parenting principles, and the essential practice of self-care. Episodes are built on shared experience, where listening often feels like connecting with a friend who gets it. You’ll hear honest discussions about pouring into ourselves as individuals so we can show up more fully for our families, and the power of building a supportive community. The dialogue here provides both knowledge and tangible resources, but its greater value is in fostering connection-reminding every mom that her journey, with its stumbles and triumphs, is part of a collective story. Tune in for a resource that meets you where you are, offering solidarity and substance for the complex, rewarding path of contemporary motherhood.
