Autism with Courage + Consciousness
On this episode of The Champagne Society, we interview Jessie Lipscomb (aka “Momma Lips” on IG) about her life as a mom of (almost) three under 4 and her relatable and fascinating two-year journey since receiving her son’s autism diagnosis. G follows her natural curiosity and Jessie generously shares a painful experience from her past that gave her the grit and resilience she’s tapping into now to model a powerful parenting style built around her core beliefs that her son needs no fixing, he was born this way for a reason, and it’s not about HER.
