From the moment I started this podcast, I knew I wanted to make space for stories that weren’t all wrapped up with a bow—stories where moms are still in the thick of it, still figuring it out, still showing up. Because sometimes, hearing another mom say, “Yep, this is hard, and here’s how I keep going,” is exactly what we need to hear.

Today, I’m talking with my friend Katie Nemelka—mom of five, autism advocate, and the definition of resilient. In the last two years, her family has made a surprise cross-country move, navigated a new autism diagnosis, and faced the reality of her husband’s chronic heart condition and need for a transplant. It’s a lot—and yet she’s showing up with courage, faith, and even a little joy (hello, backyard horses!).

Katie shares what helped her say yes to a scary-but-right decision, how her family is adapting to a new “normal,” and the powerful ways her kids have grown through it all.

It’s real, it’s honest, and it’s so full of heart.
