Book Brigitte for Speaking Engagements
I’m a speaker, author, and host of the Mother’s Guide Through Autism podcast, and my message of resilience and self-compassion reaches far beyond autism parenting.
Drawing from my own transformative journey, I inspire audiences to embrace life’s “tsunamis” with courage and grace, turning adversity into growth.
Whether I’m speaking to parents, caregivers, or women seeking strength through change, I bring a heartfelt blend of authenticity, wisdom, and hope that reminds us healing is always possible—no matter what life brings.

About Brigitte & Joseph
We’re a mom-and-son team on a mission to bring hope, inspiration, and empowerment to moms raising children with autism.
Our journey began over 30 years ago—me, Brigitte, as a mom learning how to navigate a world I never expected, and my son Joseph, who was diagnosed with autism as a child. Along the way, we discovered the power of resilience, self-compassion, and community.
Through our books, podcast, and speaking engagements, we share what we’ve learned to make the road easier for other moms. I do this work because I remember how much I needed hope when I first began this journey—and because I know that empowering moms also empowers their children on the spectrum.
