Julie M. Green - The Author of "Motherness"

In this episode, we meet Julie M. Green — a Kingston-based writer whose work has been featured in The Globe and Mail, Chatelaine, Today’s Parent, and The Washington Post.

Julie’s memoir, Motherness: A Memoir of Generational Autism, Parenthood, and Radical Acceptance, explores her family’s journey with autism — beginning with her son’s diagnosis and, years later, leading to her own. With honesty, humour, and compassion, Julie reflects on identity, parenting, and what it means to accept ourselves fully.

We talk about writing as a path to healing, the everyday practice of radical acceptance, and how understanding autism across generations can reshape the way we think about neurodiversity and belonging.

Recorded in late October 2025.
