The Be Mighty Mom Ministry

Hi, I’m Ash, host of The Be Mighty Mom Podcast and reverend at The Be Mighty Mom Ministry. I left my corporate job at Disney when my son was diagnosed with a rare disease. In the middle of hospital stays, therapies, and an autism diagnosis, I found myself questioning God more than I ever thought I would. Now, I help other moms walking the road of autism, rare disease, or medical complexity draw closer to God in the middle of their doubt, grief, and exhaustion through prayer. Each week, you’ll get scripture, encouragement, and honest reflections to remind you that God hasn’t left you. He’s walking with you.
