Seeing families find relief and connection in the hardest moments fills me with hope. We only get one life together; let’s make it our own.  I've poured everything I’ve learned—through my own struggles, coaching hundreds of families, and many hours of fervent research—into practical tools that actually work.

And now, they’re yours.

 

Here’s why:

Parenting doesn’t have to be a constant struggle against impossible expectations. It can reflect your unique family, bring real moments of joy even in the mess, and become a life that feels less exhausting and more authentic. I’ve lived that transformation, and now I want to help you rewrite yours—where trust, connection, and compassion lead the way.

DROPPING DEMANDS FOR YOURSELF

LEARN THE ART OF SAYING 'NO' TO CREATE A LIFE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

 

The world's standard playbook of expectations was written to burn us out. We're super sensitive, neurodivergent, healing from trauma, and parenting high-needs kids. We literally can't do it all. But I used to think I should be... and feeling like a failure every time I stepped back and looked at my life. Sound familiar?

 

But here’s what shocked me: I am much more powerful than I think. When I started letting go of perfectionism and people pleasing -- and dropping demands for myself -- everything started to shift. I found clarity, confidence, and a way forward that actually worked for me and my family.

 

I'll share the steps, practices, and shifts that changed my life forever. What comes out on the other side is all you. No it won't look like anyone's else's path, and it's not supposed to. This is YOUR life. Time to start living it.

It's a Yes For Me

SCREENS WITHOUT SHAME

PARENT WITH CONNECTION IN THE DIGITAL AGE 

 

The shame around screen time runs deep. We’re told to feel guilty for every extra minute of YouTube and to fight endless battles to limit screens—all while trying to maintain a loving connection with our kids.

But if you’re here, you already know that playbook doesn’t work for families like ours. The shame, the power struggles, and the impossible expectations are exhausting. I’ve been there, too.

 

Here’s the truth: screens aren't the enemy—they're just another tool. When I stopped fighting and started focusing on connection, I learned how to set boundaries that work for my family, without guilt or shame driving my decisions. I’ll teach you the practical strategies, mindset shifts, and actionable steps that have helped so many other families find peace in this digital world. 

Goodbye Shame, Hello Collaboration

SUPPORTING AUTISTIC KIDS IN DISTRESS

EMPOWERING PARENTING WITH KIDS IN MELTDOWN, SHUTDOWN AND BURNOUT

 

You know that look in your child’s eyes. The one where they’ve gone blank. Or wild. Or far, far away.

Maybe they’re screaming on the floor. Maybe they haven’t left their room in days. Maybe they seem fine on the outside—but something in your gut says, This isn’t fine.

And when that happens, no one gives you a roadmap.
Just vague advice, behavior charts, or worse—blame.

This course is the guide I needed in my darkest parenting hours. When my autistic child was lost in distress and I was desperate to help—but totally out of my depth.

In this 3.25-hour recorded workshop, I’ll teach you how to recognize and respond to three different kinds of Autistic distress: meltdowns, shutdowns, and burnout. You’ll learn how to support your child through these moments with calm, low-demand strategies—without abandoning your own needs or pushing yourself past capacity.

Together, we’ll explore:

Meltdowns — what they really are (not behavior!), how to reduce harm, and how to co-regulate in the storm.

Shutdowns — the quiet distress that’s often missed, and how to help your child feel seen and safe again.

Burnout — what it looks like, how it sneaks up, and how to gently restore your child’s spark without pushing or fixing.

You’ll leave with practical tools, clarity, and—most of all—compassion. For your child. And for yourself.

"Amanda's approach gives grace to the caregivers making a radical shift, promotes self-compassion and forgiveness, and is

soul-healing for the caregivers who have been in the trenches."

 â˜† â˜† â˜† â˜†  

"My daughter was in an almost constant meltdown – it was an incredibly rough time. Fast forward to now, just a handful of months later of truly implementing Amanda’s Low Demand Parenting and violence is WAY down, sleep has become accessible and we have been able to start homeschooling.

It has been a complete 180 turnaround."

 â˜† â˜† â˜† â˜† â˜†

"Working with Amanda has been a transformative, life-giving experience. Amanda’s work helped me to see how I needed to care for MYSELF. That I’m not broken, lazy, or incompetent — just different.

If I could write a thousand testimonials for her, I would."
