Make Investments, Not Sacrifices.

Welcome to Episode 48 of the Autism Parenting Secrets. This week, Len talks about the trap of feeling like you’re sacrificing for your child.It was a trap he fell into and now he shares why it doesn’t help and how parents can avoid it.It’s common and understandable.  So many things that parents value disappear soon after their child’s diagnosis.  Leisure time, socializing with friends, hobbies, favorite foods, etc.But while it may feel like loss, the reality is that the word sacrifice may not be the right term.Just about everything parents do to support their child is done with the hope that it will improve their life or their child’s life.And since there is some expectation of a future return - it’s really more of an investment.And just replacing the word sacrifice with investment feels very different in the body. It feels better.Tune in now to learn more!The secret this week is Make Investments, Not Sacrifices. You'll Discover:- It’s Not About Martyrdom (3:00)- Why Andy Frisella is Right (4:22)- There’s Always Something In It For You  (6:00)- Why Sacrifices Are Rare (7:30)- The Heaviness Can Lift (9:50)- Your Thoughts and Language Matter (12:30)- The Future You Want Requires Investment (14:45) References in This EpisodeAndy Frisella Real AF Podcast: https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/realaf-podcastAndy Frisella 75 Hard: https://andyfrisella.com/pages/75hard-infoAdditional ResourcesFree Resource: 33 Mistakes Most Autism Parents Make and How To Avoid Them:https://www.autismparentingsecrets.com/getaccessLearn About the All-In Warrior Parent Tribe: https://www.warriorparentbootcamp.com/membershipGot a Picky Eater? - this can help: https://www.autismparentingsecrets.com/pickyeaterTo learn more about Cass & Len, visit us at https://www.autismparentingsecrets.comFollow Cass & Len on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/warriorparentcoaching/If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.Don't forget to subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts to get automatic episode updates for our "Autism Parenting Secrets!"And, finally, please take a minute to leave us an honest review and rating on Apple Podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/autism-parenting-secrets/id1515341022They really help us out when it comes to the ranking of the show and we read every single one of the reviews we get. Thanks for listening!

Ready. Aim. THEN Fire!

Welcome to Episode 47 of the Autism Parenting Secrets. This week, Cass and Len explore the simple concept of: Ready. Aim. Fire. It’s a universally accepted sequence that gets results. But parents of a child often don’t follow this sequence.Often, parents start  taking action (Fire) before they’re prepared (Ready) and before they have clear targets (Aim).The sequence matters because there are always limited resources: time, energy, and money.And to make the most of those resources, it’s important to be effective.  That means taking informed action towards a clear, specific target.So “Fire. Ready. Aim.” doesn’t work.  Neither does: “Fire. Aim, Ready.”  And “Aim. Ready. Fire” falls short as well.Tune in now to learn more!The secret this week is Ready. Aim. THEN Fire! You'll Discover:Why we were on fire and not in a good way (1:56)Why spending most of the time getting Ready works (4:57)Ownership + Self Care = Better Decisions (8:14)“Aim” Is Often Overlooked (10:29)More time in Ready and Aim Helps (11:53)Why 10 Minutes Dedicated Visualization Each Day Is So Powerful  (15:00)Create A Balance That’s Right For You (17:09) References in This Episode:* Andy Frisella Real AF Podcast: https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/realaf-podcast* Andy Frisella 75 Hard: https://andyfrisella.com/pages/75hard-info* Autism Parenting Secrets Episode 7, Your Self-Care Is Not Optional: https://warriorparentcoaching.com/your-self-care-is-not-optional/* Autism Parenting Secrets Episode 28, Without Goals There’s Chaos: https://warriorparentcoaching.com/without-goals-theres-chaos/ Additional Resources:* Free Resource: 33 Mistakes Most Autism Parents Make and How To Avoid Themhttps://www.autismparentingsecrets.com/getaccessLearn About the All-In Warrior Parent Tribe: https://www.warriorparentbootcamp.com/membershipGot a Picky Eater? - this can help: https://www.autismparentingsecrets.com/pickyeaterTo learn more about Cass & Len, visit us at https://www.autismparentingsecrets.comFollow Cass & Len on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/warriorparentcoaching/ If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.Don't forget to subscribe to the show on iTunes to get automatic episode updates for our "Autism Parenting Secrets!"And, finally, please take a minute to leave us an honest review and rating on Apple Podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/autism-parenting-secrets/id1515341022They really help us out when it comes to the ranking of the show and we read every single one of the reviews we get. Thanks for listening!
