91: Processing an Autism Diagnosis
Do you continually feel discouraged and frustrated as you pursue an Autism diagnosis for your child? Are you being shut down and dismissed by doctors about your concerns? Does it seem like no matter how hard you push or advocate for your child, no one is listening?...
90: Gratitude Masking
It’s November, which here in the US means lots of talk about having an attitude of gratitude. While being grateful is definitely a good thing, as Autism moms, we often weaponize gratitude against ourselves as a way of dismissing our own grief. This is called gratitude...
89: The R Word
We’re talking about resentment this week. Not the kind of resentment we feel justified in, like the resentment you might feel towards the medical field or the lack of understanding in the world about Autism. Instead, we’re diving into the resentment we all feel but...
88: Stop Beating Yourself Up
Experiencing emotions like fear, disappointment, jealousy, and sadness is a normal part of the Autism parent journey. In fact, they’re part and parcel of any human’s experience of life. While there is unavoidable pain that all of us will inevitably go through in life,...
87: Talking Back to Fear

84: When Things Suck (MVP)
This week, I'm bringing back one of our most valuable podcasts. It's all about what to do when things suck, because right now, for me and many of the people I hear from, things really suck. Relistening to this episode was a timely reminder for me personally, but even...
83: Self-Regulation and Resourcing
This week, we are continuing on from last week’s discussion on the nervous system and creating internal safety. On that episode, I gave you a rundown of the basics of polyvagal theory and why learning to create internal safety is so important. And today, you’ll learn...
82: Creating Internal Safety: Nervous System 101
