    Choose PEACE

    Welcome to Episode 287 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This episode was recorded during the holiday season — a time when beauty and connection often exist right alongside pressure, exhaustion, and emotional overload. In this solo reflection, Len invites parents to consider peace not as a feeling or a personality trait, but as a deliberate objective.  He shares why peace is something parents generate internally — not something granted by circumstances or behavior — and why learning to return to calm after disruption is one of the most powerful leadership skills a parent can develop. This episode is not about doing more. It’s about choosing a steadier place to operate from. The secret this week is… Choose PEACE   You’ll Discover: Why Peace Is A Choice — Not A Circumstance (1:30)How To Respond Without Overreacting Or Shutting Down (4:30)Why Wants Create Peace — And Expectations Destroy It (6:55)How Returning To Stillness Strengthens Your Leadership (8:45)  References In This Episode: Man’s Search for Meaning — Viktor Frankl  Additional Resources: To learn more about personalized 1:1 support go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.comTake The Quiz: What’s YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?  If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

    A Regulated Nervous System Starts at HOME

    Welcome to Episode 286 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked factors affecting your child’s ability to regulate: the home environment. Electrical fields, wireless radiation, dirty electricity, and even lighting can create invisible stress that overwhelms the nervous system — especially at night, when the body should be repairing and restoring. My guest is Brian Hoyer, Founder and CEO of Shielded Healing. Brian and his team have tested thousands of homes across the U.S., assessing six different types of electromagnetic radiation along with lighting quality and wiring issues.  Their work helps families understand what’s happening in their home and how to reduce stressors that interfere with sleep, behavior, and healing. Brian’s approach is practical, grounded, and focused on solutions — not fear. He explains why parents shouldn’t assume their home is “fine,” how cumulative exposure slows progress, and what small changes create meaningful improvements. The secret this week is…  A Regulated Nervous System Starts at HOME You'll Discover: How Electrical Interference Scrambles Nervous System Signals (3:14)Why EMF Stress Builds Daily and Slows Healing (7:36)What a Home Assessment Reveals About Hidden Stressors (16:53)Why the Bedroom Matters Most for Nighttime Repair (19:24)Simple Fixes That Make Your Child’s Sleep Environment Calmer (30:35)About Our Guest: Brian Hoyer is one of the world’s leading EMF mitigation specialists and the Founder of Shielded Healing. His journey into environmental health began as a father seeking to create the healthiest possible home for his family, leading him to train as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, study with The Klinghardt Academy, and become a certified Geobiologist. Through Shielded Healing, Brian and his team help families, businesses, and healthcare practitioners reduce EMF and environmental stressors by designing living and working spaces that better support human biology. His work is trusted by functional medicine doctors and well-known leaders in the wellness and biohacking community, and he is passionate about innovation, healthier environments, and family life as a husband and father of four.

    You DON’T Have To Carry It All

    Welcome to Episode 284 of Autism Parenting Secrets. If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I talk a lot about personalized support — not as a slogan, but because it truly changes outcomes for parents. I used to believe I had to figure everything out alone. I thought muscling through was strength. But that approach made everything heavier, slower, and far more painful than it needed to be. In this episode, I break down why going it alone holds parents back — and why expanding your vision and getting supported helps you move forward faster and with far less weight on your shoulders. The secret this week is… You DON’T Have To Carry It All You'll Discover: Why Lowering Your Expectations Quietly Slows Progress (1:05)The Hidden Trap Of “Lesser Goals” And How It Shows Up (2:10)How The Caddy Analogy Reveals What Parents Are Missing (3:45)The Hypocrisy Trap And Why Alignment Changes Everything (5:00)What Happened In The Twins Study And Why It Matters For Your Family (9:45)References In This Episode: Start TodayAutism Parenting Secrets: Episode 220 - Parent Coaching Is the CatalystReversal of Autism Symptoms among Dizygotic Twins through a Personalized Lifestyle and Environmental Modification Approach: A Case Report and Review of the Literature, The Journal of Personalized Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 6Additional Resources: To learn more about personalized 1:1 support, go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.comTake The Quiz: What’s YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

    Welcome to Episode 280 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This week’s episode is about something too many parents aren’t told clearly enough.
