☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 233, The Back-to-School Parent Pep Talk: What Every Autism Parent Needs to Know couldn't be more timely. School has already started for some of our families, and for others, that first day is right around the corner.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, this is one I want every mom raising an autistic child with an IEP to hear as we head into another school year.Because back-to-school isn't just new backpacks, school supplies, and first-day pictures when your child has an IEP.It's wondering whether the new teacher has actually read it.It's hoping accommodations will be followed.It's worrying about transitions, new expectations, new staff, and whether you're going to have to explain your child all over again.And it's figuring out when to wait and see... and when it's time to speak up.In this episode of the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast, Shannon breaks the beginning of the school year into 5 Big Back-to-School IEP Buckets:

What would happen if you stopped trying to control the outcome and truly trusted God with every area of your life? In this powerful conversation, Reagan Kramer sits down with bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson to talk about her new book, More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him. Susie shares why trusting God is more than simply believing He is faithful—it is making the decision to surrender, obey, rest, and follow Him even when the path is difficult or the outcome is unclear. Susie opens up about seasons when her own trust in God was tested, including a powerful story about nearly walking away from speaking because of fear, physical challenges, and concern about what other people might think. Then God used an unexpected encounter with a bold woman to remind Susie that God is the One who called her—and He is the One who will sustain her. That moment challenged her to stop managing the outcome and start trusting God again. Reagan and Susie also explore how the enemy attacks our identity to undermine our trust, why the "little things" can sometimes be harder than the big challenges, and how we can challenge thoughts that don't line up with what Scripture says about who we are. One of the most powerful insights from the conversation is the difference between faith and trust: faith is our vision of who God is, while trust is our decision to act on that belief. Sometimes trusting God means moving forward. Sometimes it means fighting. And sometimes the greatest act of faith is simply resting and saying, "You've got this, God." Susie also shares about becoming more receptive to God's voice, encouraging others, and creating space to hear what God may want to speak into someone else's life. She emphasizes the importance of humility and testing what we believe we've heard from God rather than assuming every impression is automatically from Him. Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to ask: What part of your life are you still trying to control because you don't fully trust God? God may be asking you to surrender that area, take a step of faith, rest in Him, or simply say yes to what He's asking you to do. As Susie reminds us, God is able to do "exceedingly abundantly above and beyond" what we could ask or imagine—and the journey of trusting Him can transform every part of our lives.

In Part One of this series on Vision Bill Gruhlkey teaches from Habakkuk 2:1–3 on writing the vision down and making it plain, sharing how putting dreams on paper (and even on a vision board) helped his family see goals fulfilled over time. He challenges you to spend time with the Lord to hear what you're believing for—family, work, finances, relationships, and even big "kick at the moon" faith—then write it down and don't curse it with negative words, since the tongue has power. Bill also shares a Walk to Emmaus testimony about leading by obedience and believing for supernatural miracles, including a healed knee, and cites Scriptures on God's provision and healing (Ephesians 1, Isaiah 53).

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when God calls you to leave a comfortable life before showing you exactly where He is leading?In this episode of You Are More, I sit down with David Knapp, creator and host of On the Pen, for an honest conversation about fear, faith, purpose, and trusting God with an uncertain outcome.David's journey began after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and started taking Mounjaro. Wanting to understand the medication, he immersed himself in scientific literature, FDA documents, and emerging research about GLP-1 medications.When he realized few people were translating that complicated information into language patients could understand, he began sharing what he was learning.At the time, David was selling traffic signals and creating videos wherever he could—including inside his Ford Flex. Today, On the Pen is a top-rated podcast, and David has become one of the country's leading independent voices and patient advocates in the GLP-1 space.But this conversation is about so much more than David's professional success.We talk about the limiting belief that nearly kept him in a comfortable career, the moment he knew it was time to take a leap of faith, and how God used every part of his previous season to prepare him for what came next.David also shares what happened when he unexpectedly needed approximately $40,000 to close on a new studio—just as his largest podcast sponsor backed out. His wife and four children gathered around him to pray, and within 24 hours, every dollar they needed had been provided.This is a powerful reminder that experiencing fear does not mean we lack faith. Fear is an emotion, but cowardice is allowing fear to keep us from doing what God has asked us to do.Your fear may come with you, but it does not get to lead you.If you feel God calling you out of your comfort zone, this conversation will encourage you to remember His past faithfulness, pray bigger, take the next step, and trust Him with the outcome.In this episode, we discuss:• David's journey from Type 2 diabetes to GLP-1 advocacy• How On the Pen became a trusted podcast and platform• Leaving a comfortable career to follow God's calling• The difference between fear and cowardice• Why resistance is not always a sign to stop• Trusting God through financial and business uncertainty• The family prayer that preceded a $40,000 breakthrough• Teaching the next generation to pray big• Remembering God's faithfulness when facing a new giant• Believing that God is truly who He says He is• Using influence and opportunity for Kingdom impactConnect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comJoin The 6AM Club Bible Study!

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 227, They're Not Ignoring You: It's a Skill Gap is one of those episodes that changes how parents see one of autism's most misunderstood challenges.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope this episode gives you exactly what you need today.Summer gives us something we don't always have during the school year...Time.Time to slow down, connect, and intentionally build the skills our children need most.If you've ever felt like your child ignores you, doesn't respond when you call their name, or seems completely focused on objects, screens, or their own interests, this episode is for you.Because here's the truth:They're not ignoring you.They're missing a skill.Attention to people is a foundational skill that many autistic children need to be intentionally taught. And the wonderful news is... skills can be built.In this episode, Shannon explains why attention to people is so challenging for many autistic children and shares practical, age-specific strategies you can begin using today.You'll learn:• Why attention to people is a learned skill—not a behavior problem• Why many autistic children naturally attend to objects before people• How autism and ADHD together can make attention even more challenging• Practical strategies for toddlers, school-age children, teens, and young adults• Everyday ways to build connection without pressure or power struggles• Why meeting your child where they are is always the best place to beginOne of the biggest takeaways from this episode is this:Connection comes before correction.When we understand the "why" behind our child's behavior, we stop taking it personally and start teaching the skills they need to succeed.

Here is a podcast description structured for this episode, based on the transcript from the current page: Podcast Title: Standing on His Counsel: Launching Out Into the DeepEpisode Description Welcome back to For Zion's Sake, hosted by Shelley Volk and his son, Scott Volk. In this episode of their series on the word "Nevertheless," Shelley and Scott discuss how faith doesn't ignore difficult circumstances—it simply chooses to trust that God's word is greater than our current reality. Drawing from the Book of Proverbs, the Psalms, and the Gospels, this message reminds us that human plans may change, but the counsel of the Lord always stands. Even when we feel cut off, feel heaven is silent, or face deep disappointment after working hard with nothing to show for it, stepping out in faith at God's command changes everything. Join us as we learn to trade our human limitations for God’s character, stepping beyond the shallow waters of self-reliance into the deep places of His faithfulness. Key Takeaways God’s Counsel Endures: While human hearts formulate many plans, Proverbs 19:21 reminds us that God's purpose and authority supersede every human strategy, offering ultimate stability. Faith Above Feelings: In Psalm 31:22, David felt cut off and abandoned, yet God heard his cry. Our feelings constantly shift, but God's faithfulness remains steadfast regardless of how silent heaven seems. Repentance Over Disobedience: As seen in Judges 2:16, God never condones sin, but He always responds to a repentant heart by raising up deliverance and mercy. Stepping Out into the Deep: Following the disciples' experience in Luke 5, moving past disappointment requires launching out into the deep waters where we can no longer rely on our own ability, allowing God to perform what only He can do. Overcoming the World: Grounded in John 16:33, Christ promises His presence and victory in the middle of tribulation, teaching us that faith isn't the absence of trials, but the presence of Christ.

In this episode, Stepping Out of Deficient Paradigms: Creating New Ways to Shine, we explore how to recognize stories/limiting beliefs, challenge them with compassion, and create a new story rooted in possibility instead of fear.Many of us carry invisible stories that quietly influence every decision we make — stories that shape our confidence, our relationships, our careers, even our dreams, often without us ever noticing they're there.3 Things You'll Learn:How to identify the limiting beliefs quietly shaping your decisionsWhat it actually takes to challenge those beliefs and step beyond themHow to sustain that shift with small, consistent daily practices.Limiting beliefs are learned stories—not permanent truths. When you recognize and challenge the outdated paradigms that have shaped your thinking, you create space for new possibilities, greater confidence, and authentic growth. Lasting transformation isn't about perfection; it's built through consistent daily practices and choosing, again and again, to move beyond fear.This podcast's journey, for example, wasn't the result of one bold leap—it came from continuing to speak honestly, even when I may have doubted anyone was listening. That's what challenging a limiting belief looks like in practice. Your willingness to shine becomes a powerful invitation for others to do the same.If this one lands with you the way I think it might, send me your thoughts — I read every note that comes through, and those messages genuinely shape where this podcast goes next.Dr. Mensimah ShabazzJoin us as we build a global community of one million women who lead with wisdom, courage, compassion, and grace.

And for many autistic children, it's one of the biggest communication challenges they face.In this episode, Shannon explains what pragmatic language really is, why it matters so much, and how you can help your child strengthen these skills without making it feel like therapy.You'll learn:• What pragmatic language is and why it matters• Why many autistic children struggle with the social side of communication• Practical ways to build these skills during everyday activities• How to use summer outings as natural teaching opportunities• Simple strategies to help your child gain confidence in conversations• Why connection—not perfection—is always the goalCommunication isn't just about words.It's about understanding people, building relationships, and feeling connected to the world around us.And every conversation is an opportunity to grow.

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where we're revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 221, When Behavior Speaks: Medical Insights into Autism Aggression continues to be one of the conversations that has helped parents look beyond behavior and ask a different question:"What if my child's behavior is trying to tell me something?"Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope this episode gives you exactly what you need today.Summer often brings changes in routine, sleep schedules, travel, heat, different foods, and increased sensory demands. For many autistic children, those changes can lead to an increase in challenging behaviors—including aggression.But what if aggression isn't simply "bad behavior"?What if it's communication?In this episode, Shannon explores the often-overlooked medical factors that can contribute to aggressive behavior and why it's so important to look for the why before assuming it's purely behavioral.You'll learn:• Why aggression is often a form of communication• Medical issues that may contribute to challenging behaviors, including gastrointestinal concerns, hidden pain, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal changes, and more• Why "it's just autism" isn't always the complete answer• How to advocate for further medical evaluation when something doesn't feel right• Practical strategies for working with healthcare providers to uncover potential root causes• Why understanding the "why" behind behavior changes everythingThis episode is a reminder that behavior always has meaning. Sometimes the answer is behavioral. Sometimes it's medical. And sometimes it's both.When we stay curious instead of making assumptions, we become better advocates for our children.

Summary In this episode of Grit, Grace and Glitz, host Erika Rothenberger sits down with Jennifer Clearwaters, a licensed professional counselor, yoga instructor, Reiki master, certified integrative nutrition coach, and co-author of Elevation Principles, to discuss the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and creating a life aligned with your purpose. Jennifer shares her journey from spending over 20 years in public education to building her own private practice focused on health and wellness. She opens up about recognizing burnout, creating an intentional exit plan, and taking the courageous steps needed to pursue a more meaningful career path. Together, Erika and Jennifer explore why self-care is not selfish, how small daily habits can create lasting change, and why taking care of your mind, body, and relationships is essential for long-term happiness and longevity. They also discuss the growing impact of burnout, the importance of social connection in an increasingly digital world, and how stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to unexpected opportunities and personal transformation. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why self-care is not selfish and why making yourself a priority benefits everyone around you.

The connection between nutrition, sleep, stress, and emotional well-being. Why high-functioning burnout can affect even successful professionals.

Growing up Mormon, Founder/CEO of Hailey Ann Co, Hailey Fernelius left the church as a teenager and has been Stepping Out of Line since the age of 12. Her out-of-line journey has encouraged her to question everything she was taught about success, work, money, and life. In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “Don't Believe In The Hustle Culture,”  we talk about building a life that actually feels good instead of following someone else's blueprint. We dive into why she doesn't believe in hustle culture, how your nervous system plays a bigger role in your finances than most people realize, and why rest is crucial to one's mental health.  We also get into her four archetypes (and why Peri is definitely the fight archetype), her wanderlust adventures, the lessons she learned working every position in a restaurant, how those experiences built the foundation for the business she has today, and more. If you've ever felt like there's only one "right" way to build a business, make money, or live your life, this conversation is a reminder that you get to create your own path.

We're so excited to welcome our friends, Rhonda & Jason Halbert (R.J. Halbert) to the podcast!Their story goes way back, as Jason first noticed Rhonda when he was just 8 years old, but they didn't start dating until high school. After about a year, Jason knew she was the one.Today, they are authors, creatives, entrepreneurs, and CEOs of a publishing company that has already signed a number of authors. As individuals, they each dislike the restrictions of following rules and are continuously Stepping Out of Line. It's simply a part of their DNA. R.J. Halbert's personal trauma led them to write a trilogy, journaling became such a powerful tool for processing emotions for Rhonda, and their books serve as a way to remember life's defining moments and remain grateful for the journey.In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “Faith, Creativity, And A Warm Bowl of Mac & Cheese,” we talk about faith, the supernatural strength that helps us face adversity, and the creative process, including how that final 5% of creativity can sometimes unlock the sum of a project, as well as Peri's upcoming author journey, The Peri Project, and more. While R.J. Halbert's books aren't a mirror to their own life experiences, the emotions behind them are. The Goodpasture Chronicles series may be fiction, but the heart of the story remains the same.We first connected with Jason when he appeared on the podcast in 2021, and we've all been friends ever since. Today, Rhonda and Jason are two of Peri's closest mentors, which made this conversation all the more special.

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 234, Stop Chasing Calm: The Truth About Regulation continues to be one of the conversations that resonates most with moms raising autistic children.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope it gives you exactly what you need today.In this episode, Shannon breaks down why “just stay calm” is one of the most misleading pieces of advice parents of autistic children hear—and what to focus on instead. Calm and regulation are not the same thing, and confusing them can leave you feeling like you're failing.  Shannon explains how kids pick up instantly when your words and your body don't match, why chasing calm can backfire, and how your regulation—not your calm—becomes the anchor your child needs. You'll learn co-regulation strategies and discover simple tools to create space before reacting.  If you've ever felt like you can't keep it together during meltdowns, this episode will help you shift your focus from perfection to connection, and from chasing calm to building true regulation.With more than 270 episodes available, there's never been a better time to explore the podcast library.

The prolific screenwriter, David Silverman, is back on StoryBeat for the second time. David has written for stars like Robin Williams, Bob Newhart, Rosanne Barr, Drew Carey, Sarah Silverman, Pee Wee Herman, and others. David has co-created 5 TV series and written and produced on more than 30 different series, including hugely popular shows like Newhart, Roseanne, One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons, Alice, Dilbert, and South Park.David co-created The Wild Thornberrys, which spawned two feature films: The Wild Thornberrys Movie and Rugrats Go Wild. Other feature films David has co-written include Stepping Out, Purple Haze, and The Flintstones Movie.As a Stanford-educated psychotherapist, David's treated and coached aspiring writers, many of whom have gone on to sell their own feature films and TV shows.David and his wife Rogena, who is also a writer and editor, recently collaborated on their excellent book, How to Be a Rockstar Screenwriter, which contains some of the best advice I've read on the mindset that ambitious screen and TV writers need to succeed. Unlike most books on screenwriting, How to Be a Rockstar Screenwriter is filled with solid advice for those dealing with the challenging psychological issues facing writers who wish to work in Hollywood, as well as for those who are already successful screenwriters.  I urge anyone hoping to make it as a professional writer in Hollywood to check out this very wise book.For the record, David and I have known one another for many decades, connected by our mutual friend, the late, great Steve Sustarsic. David and Steve were a well-known, highly successful sit-com writing team. They wrote and produced hundreds of TV scripts together.

What do you do when it looks like darkness has won? In this sermon on John 19:25-42, we are standing right at the foot of the cross at Golgotha—the place of the skull. We see the horrific physical reality of the crucifixion. We see the sham trials before Pilate and the religious leaders. But beneath the cruelty of the Roman soldiers and the mockery of the crowds, we discover an earth-shattering truth: Jesus was in control of it all. Even as He hung between two thieves, gasping for air, Jesus was acting in perfect love. He cared for His mother. He fulfilled ancient prophecies written hundreds of years before His birth. And with His final breath, He cried out: "It is finished." What Does "It Is Finished" Mean For You? In the ancient world, those words were stamped on a debt or a bill to mean one thing: PAID IN FULL. Jesus didn't die by accident. He died as our ultimate Passover Lamb. He became our "scapegoat," carrying every single one of our sins out into the wilderness of death so that we would never have to face destruction. Here is the best news you will ever hear: You don't have to work your way to heaven. There is no good deed you can offer, no amount of money you can give, and no amount of church services you can attend to add to your salvation. Jesus paid the entire debt at the cross. It is over. It is complete. Are You a "Secret Disciple"? We also look closely at Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. For a season, they hid their faith out of fear. But when the moment of truth came, they stepped out of the shadows, risked their reputations, and made a bold stand for Christ. Are you wrapped up in the outward appearance of religion, or does your heart belong to the Savior? There is no sin you have committed that can surpass His grace. Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more! The most important question in all of eternity is this: Will you believe in Jesus Christ today? Will you place your faith in the One who died for your sins and rose again?

Stepping Out of God's Way

“Stepping Out of the Maze of Time through Giving” In this session, David uses a mini-movie to explore the mental traps of the past and the liberating realization that we can never truly "fix" what never happened. Using the metaphor of a man traveling back into the 1960s to prevent a tragedy, David provides a deep commentary on how the ego uses "do-overs" to keep us tethered to linear time. The discussion illuminates how the past is a relentless force that resists change, yet it shows that the only way to truly escape the maze of "what if" is through the present-moment practice of giving and forgiveness. As David navigates through this gripping story of a time-traveling English teacher, we are invited to see that attempting to alter the dream only tightens its grip, while accepting the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the present sets us free.

In this insightful and empowering episode of the Thrive Today Podcast, host Colleen Rouse switches seats with Thrive's own strategist and innovation expert, Natalie Born, to unpack what it really takes to lead through massive change without leaving people behind. From stepping out of comfort zones into exponential leadership to navigating emotional resistance, communication breakdowns, and uncertainty, Natalie shares the real-world lessons she learned while leading digital and cultural transformation across large organizations. With honesty, strategy, and compassion, this conversation explores why change is emotional, how influence often lives at the bottom—not the top—and why leaders must invite both supporters and skeptics into the process. Whether you're building vision, managing resistance, or learning how to communicate when you feel like a broken record, this episode equips you with practical frameworks and courageous leadership principles to guide people from confusion to clarity and from fear to forward movement. [00:00 – 02:30] Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone Natalie's “rock and a hard place” leadership moment. Leaving safety to take on an undefined, high-stakes role. What it means to move from traditional to exponential leadership. [02:31 – 04:30] Exponential Leaders & the Power of Mentorship Why growth requires learning how to fall and get back up.

Do you feel like the same family conflicts keep resurfacing—no matter how many times you “deal with them”?What if the problem isn't the conflict… but the drama patterns you're unknowingly participating in?In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down the drama triangle—a destructive cycle made up of three familiar roles: victim, rescuer, and persecutor. These roles keep families stuck in emotional reactivity, resentment, and zero real resolution.Here's the truth most parents never hear: you can face conflict head-on without making it dramatic.Stepping out of drama doesn't mean avoiding problems, disengaging, or “letting things slide.” It means learning how to handle disagreement with clarity, courage, and love—so issues actually get resolved instead of endlessly repeated.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why drama is not the same thing as conflict—and how to tell the differenceThe three roles that silently keep family arguments loopingHow one conscious person can interrupt the entire patternThe exact three steps to exit the drama triangle—starting immediatelyHow to shift from victim → creator, rescuer → coach, and persecutor → challengerWhy inner work and emotional awareness are essential to peaceful parentingHow these tools don't just change today's arguments—but transform family legaciesIf you're exhausted from emotional blowups, silent treatments, or constantly playing referee, this episode offers a practical, empowering path forward—one that leads to real resolution, stronger relationships, and a calmer family culture.Key Takeaways✅ Drama is optional—even when conflict is unavoidable.✅ The drama triangle keeps families stuck without resolution.✅ You only need one person to change the pattern.✅ Stopping your automatic reaction is the first powerful step.✅ Awareness creates choice—and choice creates change.✅ Creator, coach, and challenger roles lead to lasting solutions.✅ Inner work is the gateway to calmer, more effective parenting.Memorable Quotes
