Connection Collective
Connect.
Understand.
Thrive.
Imagine a space where your challenges are not only recognized but deeply understood. The Connection Collective is not just a community; it's a haven designed for parents like you, navigating the complexities of raising children with dysregulated behaviors.
My friend,
I understand the weight you carry. Parenting a child with a sensitive nervous system, dysregulated behaviors, and major challenges can feel like an isolating journey, filled with moments of overwhelming stress, intense isolation and shame, and an unending fear that you are not enough, not capable, and not safe anywhere you turn.
No one truly understands your journey.
➔ Parenting is already a challenging endeavor, but when your child's behaviors create a sense of isolation, it's a whole different struggle.
➔ Friends and family can't comprehend the daily battles you face. Sometimes they blame and shame you, as though you are the cause of all the pain.
➔ The result? A sense of loneliness that can be as emotionally taxing as the challenges themselves.
I help exhausted parents of kids with challenging behaviors to drop demands and create connection so you can embrace your kids (and yourselves!) with radical acceptance.

“Amanda has changed the trajectory of my family’s life…just knowing she is there walking this low demand path with me always helps me feel less alone.”
Lauren
"This is the first place where I really feel welcome, where I'm not always scared someone is going to judge me or my child. I can finally tell the truth and sigh with relief. The small groups have changed my life...knowing who to tell when things are bad, and when they are so good. I don't know where we would be without this community."
Anna
“For me, learning about and implementing low demand has been really valuable but the community and connection aspect has been equally important for my well-being…without it, I don't know if I would have taken a low demand approach or been able to do it very well.”
This Isn't Just a Membership.
It's Your Lifeline.
You're Tired of Smiling Through the Struggle:
You've mastered the art of putting on a brave face, but deep down, you're exhausted from navigating the challenges of dysregulated behaviors, desperately yearning for a community that understands the weariness behind your smile.
Every Outing Feels Like a Potential Minefield:
A trip to the grocery store, a visit to a friend's house—it all comes with a sense of trepidation. You're constantly on edge, fearing judgment and misunderstanding. Connection Collective is the sanctuary where you can breathe without judgment, where every parent understands the complexities of your daily outings.
You Secretly Fear You're Not Enough:
Behind the strong exterior is a silent worry that you're not doing enough or being enough for your child. You crave a community that recognizes your unspoken fears, a place where vulnerability is met with understanding and acceptance.

Some parenting journeys are like taking a walk. Others are like free-climbing a mountain. Mine is the second.
In 2021, I was diagnosed with PTSD from parenting at the same time as my middle child moved into autistic burnout. Healing from PTSD while parenting a child through burnout is the hardest thing I've ever done, and it also transformed my life. Together, my children and I developed low-demand parenting, a life-giving method in the midst of incredible challenge.
I’m a late diagnosed autistic adult, and very proud of it. I’m terrible at small talk; I never leave a party gracefully. My soul comes alive in deep places, deep in nature, deep in contemplation, deep in conversation. I treasure solitude and feel fully alive while woodworking, reading, walking at the beach, and snuggling my kids.
I began coaching parents in low demand parenting because I love seeing weary parents experience the ease and joy of letting things go. I thrive seeing others come to life.
