185. The Power of Micro Shifts: Simple Tools for Overwhelmed Autism Parents with Kimberly Guche
If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it all together on the outside…while your insides are screaming—this episode is for you.
Brigitte sits down with Kimberly Guche, a pediatric speech-language pathologist, mindset coach, and mom of four, to talk about something we rarely say out loud: parenting an autistic or highly sensitive child can feel overwhelming. The pressure. The unpredictability. The constant scanning for the next meltdown. It’s a lot.
But here’s the hopeful part—your energy matters more than you think.
Kimberly introduces her Five Minute Chaos to Calm Method, a gentle yet powerful practice designed to help parents reset their nervous systems, reconnect with their inner calm, and respond to their child with confidence and clarity. No fancy tools. No hour-long routines. Just five minutes that can change the tone of your whole day.
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- The hidden signals your nervous system is constantly sending (and how your child picks up on them)
- What it means to be emotionally congruent—and why your kids feel the difference
- Grounding, breathwork, and visualization strategies for the real world
- Why calming your energy can shift your whole household
- Permission to not be perfect—and still be the parent your child needs
This conversation is a breath of fresh air for any mom who’s been stuck in survival mode and is ready for a reset.
💛 Tune in for hope, heart, and doable tools you can start using today.
