The Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast

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 r...

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 w...

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, ...

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 w...

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...

I recently had a conversation with a mom that really made me think about how many parents feel like potty training their autistic child is optional. But here’s the truth: It’s not. We can’t let the autism diagnosis make us believe this is something we can skip or push off. Potty training is essential, not only for your child’s independence but for your family’s daily life.

In this episode, I share why it’s crucial to stop seeing pot...

I’ve been dirt poor, out of options, and destined for a life of failure. As one of five children, I lived in a household where survival was an all-out battle amidst the worst possible conditions. Just when I thought life couldn’t get any harder, on December 18, 2014, my nonverbal 2-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It felt like life kept kicking me down.

But here’s the thing – I didn’t stay down. As an a...
