8: How To Care for Yourself When Supporting Your Neurodivergent Teen Feels Like Too Much
Have a comment or question for Crystal? Send it in here! When you’re supporting a neurodivergent teen or young adult through a hard season, it’s easy to slip into survival mode. I’ve been there recently myself, and I was reminded how quickly we can run on empty without even noticing. Even when we love our children deeply, the weight of their needs can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I share what this looked like in my own family and how I cared for myself through it. I talk about why this...

7: Holding Space Instead of Fixing: How Pausing Supports Your Neurodivergent Teen’s Independence
Have a comment or question for Crystal? Send it in here! Sometimes the smallest moments reveal the biggest truths. I recently had one of those moments with my daughter when she asked for help when I didn’t have the capacity to give it. I slipped into problem-solving mode, she grew frustrated, and I walked away wishing I had slowed down long enough to ask what she actually needed. That experience reminded me how powerful a simple pause can be, especially when emotions or expectations are runni...

6: Why Interviews Feel So Overwhelming for Neurodivergent Teens And How You Can Support Them
Have a comment or question for Crystal? Send it in here! Interviews can be challenging for anyone, but for our neurodivergent teens, there’s a whole world beneath the surface that can create additional turbulence. The sensory load, social expectations, executive function demands, and emotional regulation required can make interview situations feel overwhelming. In this episode, I talk about some of the hidden layers that make interviews uniquely difficult for differently wired teens and...

5: How to Stay Calm When Your Teen’s Emotions Explode
Have a comment or question for Crystal? Send it in here! It’s easy to get swept up in our teen’s emotions—especially when they’re intense, unpredictable, or seem to come out of nowhere. As a mom of two neurodivergent daughters, I’ve had to learn (and relearn) how to stay grounded in the middle of emotional storms. The idea of being a thermostat instead of a thermometer changed everything for me. In this episode, I share what it means to stay calm when conversations with your teen get tense. W...

4: Assume They Can: Why Your Faith in Them Matters More Than You Think
Have a comment or question for Crystal? Send it in here! Belief is powerful. Henry Ford once said, “Whether you believe you can or you can’t, you’re right.” While there are limits to that idea, there’s also a deep truth in it, especially when it comes to parenting our neurodivergent teens and young adults. What we believe about their abilities shapes how we respond, how we support, and ultimately how they see themselves. In this episode, I share how shifting my mindset from “Can they do...

3: From Frustration to Compassion: Shifting to See Your Neurodivergent Teen as a “Baby Adult”
Have a comment or question for Crystal? Send it in here! There was a season when I found myself getting frustrated with my daughters’ choices, wondering why they couldn’t just figure things out. Then a friend described her young adults as “baby adults,” and something in me softened. That phrase helped me remember how much learning happens in every new stage of life. It gave me a lens of compassion and reminded me that adulthood, like walking or driving, takes practice. In this episode, I shar...

2: Shouldn’t parenting neurodivergent teens get easier as they become adults?
Have a comment or question for Crystal? Send it in here! I used to think so, too. When my daughters were younger, I kept waiting for things to get easier—when they could dress themselves, drive, or manage life more independently. But the truth is, parenting neurodivergent teens and young adults doesn’t get easier…it just changes. In this episode, I talk about what that shift has looked like for me, how I’ve learned to stay present instead of rushing past the hard parts, and why I try to find ...
