Episode Eleven: All Behavior is Communication

One of the most transformative lessons I learned through ABA therapy wasn’t about autism—it was about people. As Benjamin’s mom, I was introduced to the concept that all behavior is communication. Every action, reaction, outburst, withdrawal, refusal, or attempt at connection is often telling us something deeper about a person’s needs, abilities, fears, frustrations, or desires. In this episode, I share how this principle changed the way I parent, communicate with my husband, lead teams at work, navigate relationships, and even understand myself. We’ll explore why curiosity often serves us better than judgment and how learning to ask, “What is this behavior communicating?” can create more compassion, connection, and understanding in every area of life. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, leader, spouse, teacher, or simply someone trying to better understand the people around you, this episode is for you.

Episode Ten: CFO of Today and Tomorrow

Medical parenting requires more than love and advocacy—it requires stewardship. In this episode, we explore the role of Chief Financial Officer and how medical mamas often become the stewards of their family’s resources, including money, time, energy, attention, and emotional capacity. Being a CFO isn’t about having unlimited resources. It’s about thoughtfully managing the resources you’ve been given. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis or years into your journey, this conversation will encourage you to approach stewardship with confidence, wisdom, and grace.

Episode Nine: COO of the Family System

After casting the vision as CEO, someone has to make sure everything actually gets done. In this episode, we’re talking about the role many medical mamas know all too well: Chief Operating Officer. From coordinating therapies and specialist appointments to managing medications, school supports, equipment, insurance approvals, and daily routines, parents often become the operational hub of their child’s care. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is creating systems that allow your child—and your family—to thrive.
