​In this episode, we unpack why high-stress seasons, like back-to-school transitions, often trick us into mistaking temporary exhaustion for relationship friction.

Join us for practical, realistic ways to protect your bond so your relationship isn't another item on your stress list, rather it's your safe place to land.Resources: The Gottman InstituteWe are so grateful for your support!

As the new school year approaches, most autism parents focus on the tactical preparation: reviewing the IEP, adjusting sleep schedules, and buying school supplies. Those steps matter, but they are only half of what you need. In this first episode of the Back to School series, Lisa talks about the other half (preparing yourself) and the mindset that shapes how much energy you carry into every IEP meeting, every phone call from school, and every decision you make this year.In this episode, you'll learnWhy tactical preparation is only half of what you need before the school year begins, and why the mindset you bring to it matters just as much.How bracing yourself for everything that could go wrong keeps your nervous system stuck in fear and drains the energy you will need once the year is actually underway.The three mindset shifts (moving from bracing to acceptance, moving from fear to focus, and then practicing both again and again) that help you move through the school year with more resilience.

In today's episode, we're opening up our own bookshelves and sharing the exact books we are reading right now to prep our kids - and ourselves for the  new school year. From picture books that tackle separation anxiety, growth mindset, and big first-day feelings, to the parenting books giving us permission to slow down, better understand our kids, and set healthy boundaries - this list has become our survival guide.For Kids:- The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn- The Invisible String by Patrice Karst- I'm Happy-Sad Today by Lory Britain- A Letter to My Teacher by Shannon Olsen- The Magical Yet by Angela DiTerlizzi- Mae's First Day of School by Corey R.

In this episode, I dive into the tough but essential conversations we need to be having with our middle schoolers — around tech, social media, consent, substances, mental health, and more. I remind parents that silence doesn't protect our kids; it leaves them to figure things out through peers or the internet. Instead, we can lead with curiosity, plant small conversational seeds, and revisit these topics over time. Our job isn't to have the perfect talk, it's to show up again and again with openness, honesty, and love. Staying connected is the key to guiding them forward.
