Do you sometimes feel like your life has been hijacked by Autism?
If so, this is the podcast for you. The Autism Mom Coach is a podcast for moms who feel overwhelmed, afraid, and sometimes powerless as they raise their child with Autism. Join your host, Lisa Candera, Certified Life Coach, lawyer, and (more importantly) full-time single mom to a teenage boy with Autism as she shares cognitive-based tools and trauma-informed strategies you can use to feel better now and transform your relationship with Autism and special needs parenting. The truth is, Autism is not in charge of your life, YOU are, and you have more power than you think. Visit theautismmomcoach.com for more information

114. Respite Resistance
I see respite resistance in Autism moms all the time. Even when parents accept that they need to take a break, it still brings up conflicting thoughts and feelings that stop them from experiencing the benefit of their respite.
Discover why you're reluctant to take respite, even when the option is available to you. I explore why respite is vital for Autism parents, and you'll learn how to shift the way you think about respite so you can flip the script and approach the idea of respite from a more helpful angle.

I can now see the Forest
Before I found Lisa I couldn’t see the forest through the trees and was spinning my wheels trying to prioritize everything except me and through her coaching recognized patterns made positive changes that benefit me (and ultimately my family)! I don’t just see the Forest better - I’m forging a clear path through the trees and owning it!
Must listen for autism parents!
Thank you for sharing your story, it has helped me immensely. This podcast is powerful and life-changing for anyone with a child with autism (or any disability).
Autism Mom Rockstar
From one Autism Mom to another, nothing beats a coach who has WALKED this journey, who shows up authentically even when the times they are personally going through are hard. Lisa embodies the identity of an amazing Autism Mom Coach. Anyone who is struggling in the pain should be working with Lisa. I couldn’t recommend her or her podcast more. xo
