What if you were only one step away from potty training success, but your brain was telling you to quit?

In Episode 54 of the Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast, Michelle shares a powerful success story of a grandmother who nearly gave up when potty training her grandson with autism felt impossible. Pee training came quickly, but poop training turned into weeks of frustration, daycare accidents, and moments of doubt.

Through coaching, mindset shifts, and a customized strategy, everything changed—and now he’s fully potty trained.

This episode is about more than just potty training. It’s about the fight every autism parent faces between quitting when it feels too hard versus pushing through to the win that’s waiting on the other side.

🎧 Listen in to hear how setbacks turn into breakthroughs, and why the finish line is often closer than you think.

In Episode 53 of the Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast, Michelle shares inspiring “Next Level Wins” that show what’s possible once the Big 3—potty training, communication, and stopping problem behaviors—are mastered. 

From orthodontist visits to varsity sports to self-advocacy, these milestones are living proof that the hard work pays off. 

If you’ve ever wondered what’s waiting for your child on the other side of the daily struggles, this episode will give you hope, motivation, and a clear vision of what’s possible for your family.

🎧 Tune in now and get inspired to take the next step toward your child’s independence!

This week on the podcast I asked a question that might sting a little:
How are you benefiting by keeping your autistic child in diapers?

I know your gut reaction might be “I’m not benefiting, Michelle! I want my child out of diapers.”

But here’s the thing—every family I’ve coached has blind spots. Diapers end up “helping” in ways you don’t even notice:

• Less mess to clean up
• No battles at the toilet
• No risk of failing if you don’t even try

None of those make you a bad parent. They just make you human. But as long as diapers are secretly serving you, they’ll keep winning.

That’s why I shared two coaching stories on the podcast this week—about a little girl escaping sliding glass doors and a little boy who always managed to pee in the hallway. 

Both parents thought their child “didn’t understand.” But once they saw the real problem, progress finally happened.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, I want you to hear this episode. It might just be the mirror you need.

Too many parents (and even professionals) believe autism automatically means diapers. In this episode, I unpack why that belief is the biggest roadblock to potty training. You’ll hear why 95% of success is mindset and only 5% is tactics, how comfort vs. discomfort drives your child’s choices, and why YOU—not the therapists—are the expert in your child’s independence.

Are you really working on potty training and independence skills—or just keeping yourself “busy”?

In this milestone 50th episode, I get real about the two types of parents I see:

• The busy being busy parents who spend hours searching, planning, and second-guessing… but never take consistent action.
• The get it done parents who roll up their sleeves, commit to a plan, and make progress—even when it’s messy.

I share stories from real families, my own journey with Julianna, and why belief (not just tactics) is the key to moving your child forward. If you’ve been stuck waiting for the “perfect time” or chasing the “secret tip,” this episode is your wake-up call.

🎧 Listen now to learn how to stop spinning your wheels and start creating real results for your child.

In this episode, Michelle shares why sometimes we have to go first—even when there’s no roadmap. From her own journey with Julianna to coaching parents who thought their child was the “exception to the rule,” Michelle shows how belief and action create breakthroughs. She also opens applications for the very first Autism Parent Coach Certification, inviting parents who feel the pull to step up and lead other families.

In my latest Autism Mommies Potty Talk podcast episode, I opened up about why I started coaching in the first place — and why I believe so deeply in training other parents to do this work too.

For years, I’ve been helping parents like you teach their children with autism how to get potty trained, communicate, and stop problem behaviors so they can live an independent life. But the truth is… I can’t reach every family myself.

That’s why I’m launching the Autism Parent Coach Certification — a 6-month mentorship where I’ll teach you everything I do so you can help families in your own community create life-changing results for their kids.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I want to make a real difference for other autism families.”
• “I’ve walked this journey and know my experience can help someone else.”
• “I’d love to turn my knowledge into a career that matters.”

…then this could be your moment.

In this episode, Michelle breaks down a raw and honest conversation with a mom who's stuck in the final stretch of potty training. Her son is bright, verbal, and capable—but mom's hesitation is what's holding them back. Michelle shares exactly why your child may not feel urgency to change, how to reframe your role as the decision-maker, and what it really takes to push past the “stuck” stage. If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe it’s just not the right time,” you need this episode. 

What do you do when people criticize your parenting—even after your child starts thriving?

In this episode, I share the story of a UK mom inside my program who taught her son to ask for what he wants using his voice. But instead of getting praise, she was met with judgment from her family and even her school—accusing her of being “too strict” or “withholding.”

If you’ve ever felt unsupported or misunderstood for doing what actually works for your autistic child… this episode is your reminder that you’re not crazy—and you’re not alone.

We talk about:

• What to do when “nice” people start questioning your parenting
• Why having boundaries with family is a form of protection
• How to keep going even when others don’t believe in your child
• Why real progress doesn’t need to be crowd-approved

You don’t need permission to parent boldly. You need results. And I’m here to help you get them.

Think it’s “too late” to teach your child with autism how to potty train, communicate, or follow directions? Think again. In this live coaching session, Michelle calls out the quiet lies that keep parents stuck — and breaks down exactly how to rebuild belief, rewire habits, and create momentum even when your child is older or progress feels stalled. If you've ever felt behind, this episode is your permission slip to throw that guilt out and get to work.
