If your teen feels stuck, overwhelmed, or resistant to change, it may be time for a different approach. Instead of repeating strategies that leave both of you exhausted and discouraged, this podcast offers practical, evidence-informed tools designed specifically for parents of neurodivergent teens and young adults. My name is Sarah Mireles. I am a licensed therapist and I have 10 years of experience working with neurodivergent young adults and families at all levels of care, and I have helped over 500 individuals and parents reach their goals of reducing unhelpful behaviors, increasing receptivity to change and launching their their teen into independent adulthood.
This podcast was created to teach parents the essential skills needed to support their teen’s transition into confident, capable adulthood. Many parents of teens with ADHD, Autism, OCD, OCPD, or PDA are given advice designed for neurotypical brains — and when it doesn’t work, they’re left feeling frustrated, helpless, and unsure of what to do next.
You will learn:
How to effectively handle emotional blow-ups and shutdowns
How to strengthen your own self-regulation during challenging moments
Communication strategies that increase connection, cooperation, and understanding
Practical tools to help your teen take meaningful action toward independence
Each episode is designed to help both you and your teen feel more confident, connected, and capable of navigating change.
This podcast is for parents who want to reduce unhelpful behaviors, increase their teen’s openness to growth, and create a home environment that supports emotional regulation, flexibility, and long-term success.
Parents also have the opportunity to join a structured support program to deepen their learning, practice skills consistently, and build a home culture that fosters communication, resilience, and real, sustainable change.
