À propos de cet audio

In this episode of Autism for Badass Moms, we sit down with Bronx native and powerhouse mom, Debbie Mercado, 47, who has faced life's toughest moments with strength, humor, and heart. Debbie is the proud mother of three beautifully unique children: a 26-year-old trans daughter, a 15-year-old autistic son named Logan, and a 12-year-old daughter who’s making moves on the basketball court. Logan was diagnosed with autism between the ages of 3 and 4, with cognitive delays that made Debbie’s solo parenting journey even more challenging. Debbie opens up about the heartbreaking losses that forever changed her path. In 2016, she lost her children's father, which shook her to her core. She thought she’d never have to walk that road alone again — until 2020, when her new partner passed away during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But through all the grief and hardship, Debbie found healing and power in perspective. Her unwavering commitment to motherhood, education, and self-growth led her to embrace her story — not as a burden, but as a badge of survival and resilience. Now working full time as a Paraprofessional in the NYC DOE D75 division, Debbie continues to uplift others with her motto: “Turn what you’re going through into something — make it a teachable moment. ”This episode is a heartfelt reminder that even through unimaginable pain, badass moms rise — and they don’t do it quietly.
