Why does it feel so personal when your child dysregulates?. Join Lisa Candera as she shares cognitive-based tools to help you manage the internalized pressure of parenting a child with autism. Learn why regulation starts with you, how to utilize the power of the "pause," and how to model safety for your child even in high-energy moments. This isn’t about being perfect; it’s about building the self-trust and resilience you need for the journey ahead.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and while 1 in 5 people may be diagnosed with a disorder, 5 in 5 of us have mental health to manage. We cannot leave our well-being to chance; without intentional care, our brains can easily get dragged down by negative thought patterns.

To support you in building resilience and mental strength, The Teen Anxiety Maze is hosting a special collaborative series throughout the entire month of May. Every Monday, we will feature a powerful episode from a leading parent coach, offering new perspectives and expert support for your parenting journey.

What’s Coming This Month:
Week 1: Lisa Candera | How to Stop Taking Your Child's Behavior Personally – Learn a practical framework to stay steady when your child’s behavior feels like rejection.

Week 2: Pam Howard | How to Move On After a Mama Meltdown – Essential listening for moms who want to reconnect after an unexpected reaction.

Week 3: Dawn Friedman | Judicious Giving Up – Discover how letting go of specific problems can help you focus on what actually matters.

Week 4: Leah Davidson | Parenting Older Kids Without Overfunctioning – Navigating the changing relationship dynamic with teens and adult children.

Remember: you are doing the best you can, and it’s okay if some days you don't have the bandwidth. Tune in every Monday in May to prioritize your mental health and find the support you deserve.

Do you ever look at your teen or young adult and think, “I know you’re smart. I know you’re capable. So why do you seem so stuck?”

In this episode, I’m talking directly to parents who are watching their teen or young adult struggle with motivation, confidence, decision-making, friendships, school, work, or taking the next step in life.

So often, what looks like laziness, avoidance, or lack of motivation is really overwhelm, uncertainty, or not knowing themselves well enough yet.

In this conversation, I share:

Why self-awareness matters so much for teens and young adults
What may really be underneath procrastination, hesitation, and shutdown
Why a trusted adult outside the family can make such a difference
How coaching can help young people understand themselves, manage emotions, and move forward with more confidence

I also talk about the relief parents feel when they do not have to carry this alone.

If your teen or young adult needs help figuring themselves out, building confidence, and taking their next step, this episode is for you.
