  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m your host, Stephanie Buckley — an AMFT solution-focused therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder. I’m also a mother to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son and i've been married for over three decades. I bring both professional training and personal experience to the work I do — and to every episode of this podcast.

    This podcast is where insight meets empathy — a space for parents, caregivers, and concerned adults to find clarity, compassion, and real support as they navigate the challenges of raising neurodivergent kids. Today, we are talking about anxiety. “Most of us know when we’re anxious. But, my question to you, do you know what your.... normal is? Today we’re diving into the idea of a personal anxiety baseline. I’ll walk you through what it means, how to figure yours out, and why identifying it can help you better manage anxious spirals before they escalate. As a therapist, I’ve seen again and again—when clients learn their baseline, they reclaim control. So let’s talk about it.”

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, where we explore the tools, truths, and tiny steps that lead to big changes. I’m your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT therapist, mom, and fellow traveler on this journey to peace. Today, we’re diving into a powerful approach that shifts the spotlight from problems to possibilities: Solution-Focused Therapy. Let’s explore how this method helps individuals and families facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder reclaim a sense of hope, direction, and strength.

    First, What Is Solution-Focused Therapy? Solution-Focused Therapy—or SFT—is a short-term, goal-directed approach that centers on solutions, not problems. Rather than digging deep into the past, Solution Focused Therapy asks, “What’s working?” and “What will life look like when things get better?” It’s based on the belief that people already have the resources and strengths they need—and that with the right questions, they can access those tools.

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I'm Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT Marriage and Family Solution-Focused Therapist and a mother with real-life experience raising a thriving, creative neurodivergent 22 year old son. With over three decades of marriage, I blend my professional expertise in Solution-Focused Therapy with personal stories and practical insights to help families navigate life’s challenges. I am also a firm believer in the power of small things being done consistently can exact change.

    If you're parenting an only child, you’ve likely seen it happen—a friend comes over for a playdate, reaches for your child’s favorite toy, and suddenly, emotions run high. Without siblings to regularly navigate back-and-forth play or cooperation, every toy can feel deeply personal and entirely their own.

    So what do we do when sharing feels like too much? In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most common parenting dilemmas: How do I teach my child to share without forcing it? This conversation goes beyond toy squabbles—because true sharing isn’t about sacrifice, it’s about security.

    We’ll unpack what I like to call “The Protected Pick”—a simple, respectful tool that turns everyday playdates into powerful lessons in boundaries, self-respect, and real empathy. Let’s get into it.

    Today we’re diving into something so many families experience—but don’t always recognize......anxiety. And not just anxiety in general—but how it shows up differently at different stages of life.Because anxiety doesn’t always look like worry or panic attacks. Sometimes it looks like stomachaches. Or snapping at your partner. Or a child refusing to try something new. It might show up as over-functioning in moms, emotional withdrawal in teens, or irritability in dads.

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm Stephanie Buckley, a Marriage and Family Solution Focused Therapist and a mother with real-life experience raising a thriving, creative neurodivergent son. With over 3 decades of marriage, I blend my professional expertise in Solution-Focused Therapy with personal stories and practical insights to help families navigate life’s challenges.

    In this episode, I dive into how to help your high school teen or young adult explore different career paths. Learn how personality type assessments—like the Myers-Briggs, Big Five, and Enneagram—can open conversations about future goals, lifestyle preferences, and the kind of work environment that suits your teen best. The discussion also covers trade schools for more hands-on learners, as well as travel-heavy and traditional professional careers (doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, etc.). Finally, Stephanie touches on less conventional routes, such as sports agent, musician, influencer, government roles, and military paths.

    Personality Test Links:

    MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)

    Free Option: 16Personalities

    Official MBTI: MBTIonline.com (Paid)

    Big Five (OCEAN Model)

    Free Test: Truity Big Five

    Enneagram

    Free Test: Eclectic Energies


    Discussion Starters:

    “How do you see yourself thriving—leading a team, working alone, or something in between?”
    “Are you drawn to jobs that let you travel or live abroad?”
    “How do you feel about spending 2, 4, or even 10+ years in school or training?”
    “What kind of impact do you want your career to have on your community or the world?”

    Share this episode with another parent or teen who might be exploring career options.
    Tag us on social media using #PathToPeacePodcast with the career ideas that resonate most for your teen.
    Encourage your teen to take one of the tests above—talk through the results and brainstorm next steps together.

  • "Welcome back to The Path to Peace Podcast! I’m your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in ADHD/ OCD and Addiction. Today I'm diving into a topic that so many parents, teachers, and even individuals with ADHD struggle with—why do ADHD brains sometimes say whatever comes to mind? Whether it’s blurting out an inappropriate comment, interrupting, or struggling to read social cues, these moments can lead to frustration, embarrassment, or even conflict in relationships."

    "But here’s the thing—this isn’t about bad behavior. It’s about brain chemistry, impulsivity, and social processing differences. In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through some reasons why ADHD can affect communication, and more importantly, I’ll share solution-focused strategies to help make conversations smoother, more mindful, and more successful. Whether you're a parent helping your child, a teen struggling with social situations, or an adult wanting to improve communication, this episode is packed with insights you can start using today."

    "So, let’s get into it—because ADHD doesn’t have to mean communication struggles. It’s all about learning how to work with the brain, not against it."

    Tune in now and start transforming your parenting journey with ADHD!!!
