In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mompodcast, Shannon Urquiola talks about the long game of independence and why the little skills your child learns today matter so much for their future.

Letting go isn’t easy, but when you nurture their confidence through small, everyday moments, you’re laying the foundation for big freedoms later on.

Shannon also unpacks the difference between parentingfor your comfort versus parenting for their future—and why that shift is one of the most powerful things you can do. If you’ve ever struggled with holding on too tightly, this conversation will give you both encouragementand a gentle nudge forward.

Tune in for encouragement, strategies, and the reminderthat you’re stronger than you think. 💙
