I have a son with severe ASD who is mostly non verbal. This podcast has been invaluable to me when we are going through tough times and periods of challenging behaviors. She gets it which I value because there aren’t many of us dealing with these situations. Thank you Lisa, you’ve helped me more ways than you know !

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!

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).

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

I just finished listening to Lisa’s most recent podcast episode 64 called Anger. This had me laughing out loud and shaking my head and also making mental notes of practical tips for me to raise my son with Autism. Thank you Lisa for being the Autism Mom Friend we all need!

The Autism Mom Coach Podcast is a resource that every Autism Mom needs. She give practical advice that can be put into action immediately. I wish she was coaching 10 years ago at the beginning of my journey. Luckily, I get to soak up her advice weekly on the amazing podcast she created.

I just love the Autism Mom coach podcast. Lisa is so up-front, honest and real when talking about the struggles she faces raising her son. She is very relatable to her audience and helped me personally feel that I don’t need to make excuses to make others happy. It’s about making me and my special needs daughter happy.

Parents, this one’s for you. Get yourself back in the drivers seat and tell Autism to scoot over, you’re in control. Highly recommended!

Lisa’s podcast is a breath of fresh air. It’s not only practical—it’s encouraging in a way that is not syrupy sweet. As a mom to a son with Autism, she knows first-hand how stressful and overwhelming day to day life can be. At the same time, she has the coaching expertise to help moms move forward. As a special education teacher, this podcast is a great resource for the moms of my students. BONUS: her coaching approach for Autism Moms is very unique—and not what you’d expect. Which is what makes it awesome. Highly recommended!

Love, love, love this podcast. I have a young adult daughter with autism and, as an advocate, have worked with hundreds of families with children with autism. It is not an easy path! But it can also be super-rewarding. Lisa is an excellent story-teller and gives lots of examples to support her very practical advice. I have listened to only two episodes so far but plan to keep going! Listening to Episode 39 came at exactly the right time for me. I have been feeling so frustrated with myself and my daughter because “we were not following my manual about what we SHOULD be able to do!” Lisa’s message helped me to view my daughter—and myself—with more compassion and to focus on what IS vs. what I think SHOULD be. Thanks, Lisa!

With her science-based knowledge, steel-belted wisdom honed from her life experiences, and unconditional compassion & caring, she will show you how to shift your thinking so you are able to stand in and act from your fullest power, no matter what.

I recently found this podcast and I’m really enjoying it. It’s comforting to have someone to help me focus on myself and how to take care of me. I love that the episodes are not too long-they’re the perfect length for a busy mom!

This is a great podcast! Lisa understands first hand the struggles of parenting a child with autism. She is a resource!

Lisa provides a valuable resource and support for families. She and her son Ben provided an insightful discussion in support of the LARC Autism Resource Center community. Her warm demeanor and supportive nature is just was our families needed to feel supported in a meaningful way. Thank you so much Lisa for all that you do!!

Wonderful and actionable steps! Awesome!

Lisa does an exceptional job speaking her truth in a way that parents everywhere can relate. She has been a pleasure to host on ASRC’s webinar series. Professionally speaking, she is a pleasure to work with. All of our families who have tuned in to listen to Lisa have had nothing but glowing feedback. If you haven’t listen to her podcast you are certainly missing out!

I’ve been a therapist specializing in working with the neurodiverse population for over 20 years and one thing I’ve learned is that parents of children with autism need peer support. Raising your child on the spectrum truly can take a village but so many parents feel alone on this journey. For that reason alone, this podcast is worth following and listening…to every single episode! Lisa targets some of the most complex and unique challenges that parents face. She speaks with knowledge and empathy and provides truly important guidance. This podcast is worth its weight in gold. Thanks to you, Lisa, for finding a platform and sharing your thoughts with all of us!

The advice and insight Lisa provides is REAL, RAW AND RELATABLE. If you have a child or loved one living with Autism or a related similar Spectrum disorder — you will absolutely walk away feeling validated and empowered after listening to her podcasts. Lisa breaks it down and gives you the actual “how to “ to deal with EveRy unique challenge we experience . She is brilliantly funny, witty and down to earth. Listen in.. life will be better as a result !!

Lisa ‘gets it.’ Her authenticity is refreshing and her content always leaves you with a (or several) tangible takeaway.

Episode #35 is perfectly timed as we enter not only a very magical time of the year but an extremely chaotic one for not only our children but ourselves as well. Lisa does a fantastic job in relating how we as parents handle transitions and in turn can help our child/children in the process. We need to take time and breathe. Thank you Lisa! Insightful as always

I’m a mom to a five year old little boy with autism and I also happen to be a licensed counselor. When I found Lisa’s podcast not only did I love listening to it, but I signed up for coaching as well because lord knows I needed someone who could relate. It has been extremely beneficial not only for my role as an autism mom, but personally as a human it has helped me grow in so many ways. I can’t wait to continue to learn and grow as our coaching continues. Anyone can benefit from listening to her podcast autism or not.

In a few short weeks, I have listened to all of Lisa’s episodes. She delivers expert advice such as your child’s behaviors are not about you even though they may involve you, and it us up to you to choose how you respond to others and your circumstances. This is a must listen to help you navigate through the challenges you face!

I found The Autism Mom Podcast one day after a TOUGH meltdown from my 2.5 year old son with suspected autism, which resulted in me having my own mommy meltdown. I was in my car, desperate to find anyone who was going through what I was going through. I stumbled upon Lisa's podcast and I felt like she was describing my life to a T. I can't begin to tell you how much Lisa's advice had helped me. Even though her son is much older than mine, I'm still able to find tons of tips and tricks that I can apply to my life. Some days I feel like I hear Lisa's voice in my head guiding me through the think, feel, act cycle more than i hear my own! Lisa, Thank you for all you've done for us and for the advice I know I'll get from future episodes❤️

As a mom of a teen with severe autism, I find Lisa’s podcast to be full of the practical ideas and support I could never find in traditional therapy. She knows the emotional struggles because she’s actually been there, and I love how she uses humor, honesty, and real-life examples to teach techniques that empower you as a parent. Love this podcast!!

I couldn’t have found this podcast at better time . I have an eight year old and a three year old on the autism spectrum. My three year old was just recently diagnosed. Having two children with special needs is so overwhelming and scary I feel as if no one understands me . I binge listened to all the episodes and felt so understood and heard for once. All these strategies have been so helpful so far. I don’t think you realize the impact you can have on someone’s life with this podcast. I can’t wait for more episodes.

I’m so glad I found Lisa’s podcast through the Autistic Mom’s page. I’m always eager to listen to the next podcast when it launches. Lisa is real and I love that she gives examples from her own life and clients. Thank you!

Lisa is charming and funny with her no nonsense but gentle approach. She not only gets it because she’s done it but she recognizes the things that fuel us. You will feel empowered once you hear her words and do the work to put her guidelines into place.

Lisa’s podcast and coaching program is life changing for parents raising Autistic children. Two months ago I was at an all time low during our journey of raising our 4yo Autistic twin boys and I’m so grateful that I discovered The Autism Mom Coach. I really appreciate Lisa’s honesty, sincerity, and compassion. She has helped me tremendously to better understand meltdowns and increase my self-awareness of my thoughts and feelings as a special needs parent. As special needs parents we often feel helpless and isolated. It’s so refreshing to be connected with someone like Lisa who gets it and empowers us to navigate this difficult journey.

Lisa’s insights are invaluable and all parents can benefit from her thoughtful and sensitive approach to parenting a child with autism. She openly addresses a wide range of topics with humor, vicious wit, and compassion. This is a must listen!

This is a wonderful resource for parents of autistic kids. Lisa knows what she’s talking about, keeps it entertaining, and shares the information in short episodes that you can always fit into your day.

This show has spoken to me! Everything she is saying I just keep saying , yes I feel like that. It Is great to get the perspective from a mom going through it like the rest of us

As the mom of a 5 year old daughter with autism, I am determined to take the best care of her AND me, and Lisa’s podcast is exactly what I need. The episodes are soothing, easy to listen the perfect length for me to take in, process, and learn from—not overwhelming— and I sometimes feel like she’s in my head!! I love her approach of not trying to “cure” or “fix” our kids. Although she talks a lot about specifically neuro diverse children, many of the informative topics and action items carry over to my neuro typical children as well. I’m so excited to have Lisa as a resource!

I’m a Special Education teacher and I will definitely share this podcast with my families!

Completely relatable!!! Amazing!

Practical, encouraging advice from someone who’s clearly been the trenches. It’s so easy to feel alone in this as a parent. Lisa talks with the confidence of a moms who’s with you not someone pretending to understand.

This podcast came along at a perfect time in our family’s journey. There were messages and tactical strategies that I absolutely needed to hear, and it was so helpful to better understand the science of what’s happening during one of my son’s meltdowns. It’s also so helpful to have someone else put my feelings into words to know that we are not alone. I look forward to future episodes!

Loved it!

As a parent of a child with moderate-to-severe autism I have say that “To be the Solid Object” has really been a comfort to me in the short time I have been listening (6 episodes and counting). It’s exactly what I need right now. Lisa helps explain what my child most likely needs during meltdowns, what my child might be trying to “say” with behaviors, and also gives listeners (me) reminders to take care of myself. After all, if we don’t take care of ourselves it is extremely difficult to take care of our children—as many parents can relate to. When you add long stints single parenting, your child’s lack of sleep, SIBs, minimal verbal language,challenging behaviors, or even your own lack of sleep and stress —It *really* takes a toll! I have found Lisa’s suggestions to be very helpful in managing my OWN behavior and work through guilt so I can take care of myself and be the best parent I can be for my special needs child. What a gift! Thank you Lisa!!

I love this podcast! Lisa’s soothing voice about Autism awareness, acceptance, and appreciation is exactly what I needed. This is a must listen for parents interested in learning more about navigating and supporting children with Autism.

This podcast is just what I needed . Highly recommend for all autism parents!

Wow! I never thought that being a Jersey girl…. Could mean being the solid object .. yet it resonated with me in many ways! This podcast spoke volumes to me as a parent, professional, coworker, friend, and as a single mom navigating through this journey called life with a growing boy… bottom line is I am learning to allow him to be who he is, feel what he feels, by taking care of my own emotional needs… then I can help him through the challenges life throws.. Thank you Lisa for this honest, raw, real depiction of what that means! Thank you for allowing me to help you navigate through such a traumatic time… your humility helped mold you into the solid object you are today ! Can’t wait to hear more!
