You love your kid more
than anythingÂ
Â
That’s never been the question.
But the days are relentless. The nights blur together. And you’re running on fumes.
Parenting a PDA kid with big behaviors doesn’t just stretch you. It erases you.
This isn’t the kind of tired a nap can fix. Somewhere along the way, you got lost in the crisis management.
This guide is a compass. Not to fix everything overnight, but to start bringing you back into the picture.
What You'll Get
- Â A 10-page, therapist-created guide made by someone who gets it
- Bite-sized, brain-friendly sections (because overwhelm doesn't need more overwhelm)
- Nervous system tools that actually work in the chaos of real life
- No recommendations for a spa day. No guilt trips. No "just try harder"
- Zero fluff. Zero shame. Just grounded, compassionate support, right where you are.

Sound Familiar?
Â
“I don’t even know what I need anymore.”
“No one gets what this is like.”
“I’m trying so hard… but I can’t keep going like this.”
If those words feel like yours, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
You’re burned out. Because you’ve been showing up in impossible conditions, over and over again.Â
This guide was made for exactly that moment. The one where you're running on empty but still carrying everyone else. Let it meet you right where you are… and help you take tiny doable steps back toward yourself.
Here's What's Inside:
-
Understand what caregiver burnout really looks like (spoiler: it’s not just being tired)
-
Explore real ways to take things off your plate without a guilt spiral
-
Get burnout tools that actually feel doable (and won't make you roll your eyes)
-
Discover sensory + nervous system supports that help you feel safer and more resourced
-
Shift your inner voice from “I’m failing” to “I’m doing my best and that’s more than enough”

You don't need to fix everything. You just need a place to start.
This is that place.
Recovery starts with one small, compassionate step towards yourself.

Hi!
I'm Lindsay
A therapist with over a decade of experience, a late-diagnosed ADHD woman, and a big fan of fancy coffee and great books.
When I became a mom in 2014, I was quickly overwhelmed. None of the parenting advice seemed to work, and in fact, it often made things worse. I felt like I was failing.
Everything finally clicked when our son was diagnosed with autism at age 7 and we discovered PDA. His behavior wasn’t something to fix. He needed nervous system support and co-regulation.
I saved myself. And you can, too.
