What happens when a parent is fundraising for a communication device their child doesn't actually need? In this episode, Michelle shares a raw and eye-opening conversation with the dad of a 7-year-old non-verbal daughter with Level 3 Autism and the hard truth she had to tell him. 

If your child can make sounds or say words but chooses not to, the problem might not be their ability. It might be that using their voice is simply optional in your home. 

Michelle breaks down why choosing comfort over challenge is quietly costing your child their future, and what you can do differently starting today. This one is going to hit home.

My daughter's latest update! From resource room reduction to high honor roll, dental milestones to lifeguard dreams - hear what's possible when you focus on one step at a time. This is the hope you need if you're wondering about your child's future.

Your child goes every time you take them. No more diapers. You’re reminding them every two or three hours and they’re keeping their pants dry. You did it, right?
Not yet.
In this episode, I’m talking about the stage where most parents get comfortable—and stuck. That in-between place where your child will use the toilet when prompted, but they’re not going on their own. I call it prompt dependence, and it’s where so many families park themselves because they’re scared of losing the progress they worked so hard to get.
I get it. You spent years in diapers. You finally got them going. Now I’m asking you to shake the tree again? Yes. Because true potty training independence isn’t your child going when YOU tell them to—it’s them feeling nature call and answering it themselves.
I’m breaking down why parents get stuck here, what’s really driving the fear of “regression,” and how to widen the window so your child can start hearing their own body instead of waiting for your voice.

In This Episode:

• The difference between going on command and true independence
• Why the autism community’s fear of regression keeps parents stuck
• What “widen the window” means and how to do it
• How to handle accidents during this stage without losing progress
• Why your child won’t start from zero if they regress—and the science behind that
• The mindset shift that changes everything: “I created this result, so I can create it again”

Key Takeaways:

1. If you’re reminding your child every 2-3 hours and they’re going, that’s a win—but it’s not the finish line.
2. There are two voices that can tell your child when to go: your external voice and their body’s internal voice. They’ve learned to listen to yours. Now they need the opportunity to hear theirs.
3. Regression isn’t death. When you get back on the horse, you don’t start at zero—you start just a little before where you were and pick up quickly.
4. Your survival brain and your child are both going to fight for comfort. Your higher brain knows what’s possible.
5. You didn’t get this far by accident. You worked for it. That means you can get it back—and go further.

Quotables:
“We didn’t have babies just to live survival lives. We had babies to teach them to thrive.”
“True independence is when the child feels their body needing to go, and they go release on their own.”
“If I created that result, I can create it again. It didn’t just happen to me. It wasn’t magic potty pixie dust.”
“Every up-level is shaking your tree. It’s going to be uncomfortable. Your brain’s going to tell you all the reasons not to mess things up. That’s not the life you signed up to live.”

In this raw episode, I'm sharing the tension between helping families publicly and protecting privacy. Why I'm still doing this work, and the transformation that's possible when you believe in your child. From preverbal to thriving – this is the hope you need to hear.

Parents often worry that if they introduce signs, PECS, or an AAC device, their child will “never talk.” In this episode I share Julianna’s story—how she lost language, how we taught functional communication with signs, and why that actually accelerated her spoken words. I unpack what changed for her brain, her motivation, and our relationship, and I cite research showing AAC does not block speech and can increase it.

Key Takeaways

• AAC (signs, PECS, devices) gives a child a reliable voice now, reducing frustration and building the language foundation that supports speech later.
• High-quality studies show AAC does not delay speech. Many children make gains in spoken language once they can communicate successfully.
  PubMed+1
• The “unlock” isn’t only mechanical. It is social and motivational. For Julianna, the first sign proved she understood us, pulled her out of her private world to find us, and created pride and belonging—fuel to work for speech.

How To Start (Practical Steps For Parents)

• Pair a respectful AAC option (signs, PECS, or SGD) with natural routines and powerful motivators.
• Model language. Speak to your child as you normally would while honoring their sign/picture/button presses as real communication.
• Keep AAC available everywhere. Success breeds more attempts.
• If one system isn’t a fit (e.g., card-stimming), pivot—signs or a device may reduce competing sensory pull.
• Involve your SLP/BCBA to individualize and to target functional requests first.

In this episode, Michelle Rogers shares the powerful story of a mom who’s ready to “fight the good fight” after insurance denied her autistic daughter’s speech therapy — and how that same fight can quietly steal what matters most: our child’s progress.

Michelle unpacks the emotional trap so many autism parents fall into — battling systems that aren’t invested in their child’s outcome — while their child sits waiting to be taught. With her signature blend of compassion and tough love, Michelle reveals how redirecting that same fire inward can change everything.

If you’ve ever found yourself exhausted by advocacy, overwhelmed by denials, or feeling like the system doesn’t care, this episode will reframe everything. You’ll walk away ready to take radical responsibility, become your child’s best teacher, and fight the real good fight — the one that leads to independence.

🎧 Listen now to discover:

• Why not every battle is worth fighting
• How the brain avoids pain by focusing on external fights
• What “radical responsibility” really looks like in autism parenting
• How Michelle taught her own daughter to communicate without speech therapy
• The question every parent should ask before going to war for services

🎙️ Episode 58: The Messiness of Autism Parenting

Let’s get honest.

Autism parenting isn’t just hard because of the meltdowns, regressions, or therapies. It’s hard because it’s messy—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the inner chaos that so many of us carry but never say out loud. From the guilt of not doing enough, to the shame of secretly comparing your child to others, to the overwhelm of holding everything together while silently falling apart.

If you’ve ever felt like you're drowning in the emotional load of autism parenting... this one’s for you.

I’m not here to sugarcoat it. I’m here to help you feel seen—and to remind you that you can lead your family through this, even when it feels impossibly messy.

Listen now and give yourself permission to feel, release, and reset.

In this episode of Autism Mommy’s Potty Talk, Michelle sits down with Rebecca—a mom who had tried to potty train her pre-verbal son four different times… with zero success.

But everything changed when she joined the program.

Rebecca shares how her son went from aggressive and frustrated to potty trained, making sounds, and finally feeling happy. She opens up about the emotional toll, how mindset work with our coach Stella shifted everything, and how using an iPad as a reinforcer (the right way) made all the difference.

If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, feeling like nothing will work for your child… this is the story you need to hear.

🎧 Tune in to hear how real progress happens—and how fast it can happen when parents are fully supported.

In this fiery, deeply personal episode, Michelle tackles a growing trend in the autism parenting community: the rise of labels like “profound autism” and the quiet acceptance of helplessness that often comes with them.

Sparked by a viral reel of a crying child using his AAC device to say “I’m sad,” Michelle shares why she doesn’t see tragedy — she sees potential. She challenges the narrative that emotional expression from non-speaking children is mysterious or unreachable, and breaks down how belief, curiosity, and consistency can change everything.

If you’ve ever felt stuck.
 If you’ve ever felt like giving up.
 If you’ve been told, “this is just how it is”...

This episode is your reminder:
 Your child is not their label.
 You are not powerless.
 And this is not where your story ends.

In Episode 55 of the Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast, Michelle tackles one of the hardest conversations yet: the blame game around autism.

With the recent announcement linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism, many parents are left reeling with guilt, shame, and painful “what ifs.” Michelle shares her own raw story—Tylenol during pregnancy, vaccines, even doctors blaming her weight—and the moment she realized: you can’t unring the bell.

What matters is not what caused autism, but what we do today to help our kids. This episode is about shifting from guilt to action, from “what if” to “what’s next,” and focusing on teaching life-changing skills like potty training, communication, and independence.

🎧 Tune in now to get grounded, find hope, and remember that your child’s future isn’t determined by the past—it’s built by what you do today.

What if you were only one step away from potty training success, but your brain was telling you to quit?

In Episode 54 of the Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast, Michelle shares a powerful success story of a grandmother who nearly gave up when potty training her grandson with autism felt impossible. Pee training came quickly, but poop training turned into weeks of frustration, daycare accidents, and moments of doubt.

Through coaching, mindset shifts, and a customized strategy, everything changed—and now he’s fully potty trained.

This episode is about more than just potty training. It’s about the fight every autism parent faces between quitting when it feels too hard versus pushing through to the win that’s waiting on the other side.

🎧 Listen in to hear how setbacks turn into breakthroughs, and why the finish line is often closer than you think.

In Episode 53 of the Autism Mom’s Potty Talk Podcast, Michelle shares inspiring “Next Level Wins” that show what’s possible once the Big 3—potty training, communication, and stopping problem behaviors—are mastered. 

From orthodontist visits to varsity sports to self-advocacy, these milestones are living proof that the hard work pays off. 

If you’ve ever wondered what’s waiting for your child on the other side of the daily struggles, this episode will give you hope, motivation, and a clear vision of what’s possible for your family.

🎧 Tune in now and get inspired to take the next step toward your child’s independence!

This week on the podcast I asked a question that might sting a little:
How are you benefiting by keeping your autistic child in diapers?

I know your gut reaction might be “I’m not benefiting, Michelle! I want my child out of diapers.”

But here’s the thing—every family I’ve coached has blind spots. Diapers end up “helping” in ways you don’t even notice:

• Less mess to clean up
• No battles at the toilet
• No risk of failing if you don’t even try

None of those make you a bad parent. They just make you human. But as long as diapers are secretly serving you, they’ll keep winning.

That’s why I shared two coaching stories on the podcast this week—about a little girl escaping sliding glass doors and a little boy who always managed to pee in the hallway. 

Both parents thought their child “didn’t understand.” But once they saw the real problem, progress finally happened.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, I want you to hear this episode. It might just be the mirror you need.

Too many parents (and even professionals) believe autism automatically means diapers. In this episode, I unpack why that belief is the biggest roadblock to potty training. You’ll hear why 95% of success is mindset and only 5% is tactics, how comfort vs. discomfort drives your child’s choices, and why YOU—not the therapists—are the expert in your child’s independence.

Are you really working on potty training and independence skills—or just keeping yourself “busy”?

In this milestone 50th episode, I get real about the two types of parents I see:

• The busy being busy parents who spend hours searching, planning, and second-guessing… but never take consistent action.
• The get it done parents who roll up their sleeves, commit to a plan, and make progress—even when it’s messy.

I share stories from real families, my own journey with Julianna, and why belief (not just tactics) is the key to moving your child forward. If you’ve been stuck waiting for the “perfect time” or chasing the “secret tip,” this episode is your wake-up call.

🎧 Listen now to learn how to stop spinning your wheels and start creating real results for your child.

In this episode, Michelle shares why sometimes we have to go first—even when there’s no roadmap. From her own journey with Julianna to coaching parents who thought their child was the “exception to the rule,” Michelle shows how belief and action create breakthroughs. She also opens applications for the very first Autism Parent Coach Certification, inviting parents who feel the pull to step up and lead other families.

In my latest Autism Mommies Potty Talk podcast episode, I opened up about why I started coaching in the first place — and why I believe so deeply in training other parents to do this work too.

For years, I’ve been helping parents like you teach their children with autism how to get potty trained, communicate, and stop problem behaviors so they can live an independent life. But the truth is… I can’t reach every family myself.

That’s why I’m launching the Autism Parent Coach Certification — a 6-month mentorship where I’ll teach you everything I do so you can help families in your own community create life-changing results for their kids.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I want to make a real difference for other autism families.”
• “I’ve walked this journey and know my experience can help someone else.”
• “I’d love to turn my knowledge into a career that matters.”

…then this could be your moment.

In this episode, Michelle breaks down a raw and honest conversation with a mom who's stuck in the final stretch of potty training. Her son is bright, verbal, and capable—but mom's hesitation is what's holding them back. Michelle shares exactly why your child may not feel urgency to change, how to reframe your role as the decision-maker, and what it really takes to push past the “stuck” stage. If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe it’s just not the right time,” you need this episode. 

What do you do when people criticize your parenting—even after your child starts thriving?

In this episode, I share the story of a UK mom inside my program who taught her son to ask for what he wants using his voice. But instead of getting praise, she was met with judgment from her family and even her school—accusing her of being “too strict” or “withholding.”

If you’ve ever felt unsupported or misunderstood for doing what actually works for your autistic child… this episode is your reminder that you’re not crazy—and you’re not alone.

We talk about:

• What to do when “nice” people start questioning your parenting
• Why having boundaries with family is a form of protection
• How to keep going even when others don’t believe in your child
• Why real progress doesn’t need to be crowd-approved

You don’t need permission to parent boldly. You need results. And I’m here to help you get them.

Think it’s “too late” to teach your child with autism how to potty train, communicate, or follow directions? Think again. In this live coaching session, Michelle calls out the quiet lies that keep parents stuck — and breaks down exactly how to rebuild belief, rewire habits, and create momentum even when your child is older or progress feels stalled. If you've ever felt behind, this episode is your permission slip to throw that guilt out and get to work. 

In this special live coaching episode, Michelle B. Rogers gets real with parents who are stuck in the start-stop cycle of potty training. She breaks down the true reasons progress stalls—and it’s not what most parents think. From mindset blocks and survival brain chatter to how belief fuels consistency, Michelle unpacks the five steps to real potty success and calls out the hard truths (with love). If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time,” this is the wake-up call you need.

Hey there,

It’s Michelle here, and I’m excited to invite you to a special encore presentation in podcast form! This time, I'm bringing you something truly impactful: The Autism Moms Problem Behavior Workshop.

This workshop resonated deeply with parents last month, and I believe it’s going to do the same for you. Here’s why:

Many of us are on a mission to solve the problem behaviors our children with autism might exhibit – whether it’s running away, self-injury, aggression, or even unique behaviors like licking hands. While these symptoms demand attention, focusing solely on them can leave the real cause unaddressed.

In this episode, I take a deep dive into what lies beneath these behaviors and offer strategies to solve the cause – not just manage the symptoms.

It’s a game-changing perspective that empowered many parents who joined me live. I’d love for you to hear it too.

Can’t wait for you to listen and share your thoughts!

Warmly,
Michelle

P.S. If you have questions about managing problem behaviors in your child with autism, feel free to reply! I’m here to help.

Hey there,

I’m excited to invite you to the latest episode of my podcast, Silent to Speaking: Open Coaching Call. In this episode, I’ll be answering real questions from autism parents just like you who are working to help their kids start communicating.

Whether your child is nonverbal or speaking minimally, this episode will give you valuable insights to move forward.

Tune in to learn more about how to support your child's communication journey!

I recently had a conversation with a mom that really made me think about how many parents feel like potty training their autistic child is optional. But here’s the truth: It’s not. We can’t let the autism diagnosis make us believe this is something we can skip or push off. Potty training is essential, not only for your child’s independence but for your family’s daily life.

In this episode, I share why it’s crucial to stop seeing potty training as a “nice-to-have” and start treating it like the necessity it is—just like water. No matter how hard it may seem, I’m here to tell you it can be done, and you don’t have to do it alone.

You’ll also hear about how I’ve helped thousands of families, just like yours, navigate this journey—and why the result is worth every disruption.

P.S. If you’re ready to finally take this step, let’s chat. I’d love to help you get your child potty trained once and for all.

Michelle

I’ve been dirt poor, out of options, and destined for a life of failure. As one of five children, I lived in a household where survival was an all-out battle amidst the worst possible conditions. Just when I thought life couldn’t get any harder, on December 18, 2014, my nonverbal 2-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It felt like life kept kicking me down.

But here’s the thing – I didn’t stay down. As an adult, I fought tooth and nail for my family's survival. My daughter also made incredible progress, transitioning from the most restrictive special needs preschool to an integrated elementary school class with typical peers.

I was a woman possessed and obsessed with changing our lives, and now, I want to help you do the same.

Join me in my latest podcast episode where I share my raw, unfiltered journey from rock bottom to remarkable success.

Meet Marilyn and her daughter Marian.

When Marilyn started with me, her goals were to get her daughter to use words functionally and to be fully potty trained. In just one month, her daughter achieved both! 

Marilyn saw more progress with my program in one month than in 18 months of speech therapy.

Marilyn said, "I was in awe with how fast we got this progress. I could be okay with where we were at, but what if I kept the momentum going?" She continued her journey with Next Level Autism to build on their success.

Hey, autism parents!

Michelle here, coming to you live from Hershey, Pennsylvania!

My son has been sweeping the dance competition, taking home tons of awards. We're beyond excited! But I wanted to take a moment to share something special with you.

Last Wednesday Night, from my hotel room, I completed an amazing workshop called "Unlocking Social Skills: The Five Secrets to Teaching Your Child with Autism How to Make Friends." This workshop is packed with valuable insights on how you can help your child develop crucial social skills.

If you have a child with autism who is already potty trained, communicating, and managing problem behaviors, you definitely want to tune into this episode. It will guide you through the ins and outs of creating social skills and helping your child make friends.

But if you're still working on the big three—potty training, communication, and reducing problem behaviors—I've got you covered! Reply to this email to learn more about my Champions for Our Children Masterclass, where we focus on these foundational skills.

For a limited time, after you hear this episode, I'll invite you to join Next Level Autism, my membership program designed to take your child's skills to the next level.

I hope you enjoy this episode and always feel free to reach out with any questions. It's an honor to serve you.

Hey everybody, Michelle here and I want to apologize. It's been a while since I've been podcasting. 

We've been so busy. We have so many new families that have joined the champions for our children masterclass, and my new membership next level autism. So if you guys ever want any information on that, you can always email me at michelle@michellebrogers.com. 

But today's episode is actually an excerpt from a workshop I just recently did. I think one of the most important things as parents of children with autism is that we try a lot of things. And a lot of things that we try might not work and we get very frustrated. And then sometimes we believe, because we've been socially conditioned, that the autism diagnosis may make it that our child can't learn. I don't believe that. But because we might have that kind of playing in the back of our heads, we may start and stop things like potty training or teaching our kids how to communicate or stop problem behavior. 


So I think one of the more powerful things that I can share with you is kind of hearing everything that you've tried and understanding why you think it hasn't worked and then actually tell you why it hasn't worked and give you a path forward. So this podcast episode is dedicated to doing just that you're going to hear me coaching spas parents, who are who were brave enough to come forward on this webinar to allow me to hear their stories. Hear what they've tried, it's gonna it's gonna you know, you know tug at your heartstrings but once I once you see me coaching them, or you hear me coaching them through this, I hope it brings clarity for you too. So sit back listen and enjoy and I hope to speak with you soon. Ostia that squares I'm going to bring you up so what's going to happen guys your screen is going to blank, you're going to come up as a panelist and I want to hear all about your baby and let's get let's get to coaching

"Hey there, parents! Today, I want to talk to you about something that's all too familiar for many of us – chaos in parenting. So, let me share a recent consultation call I had for my group coaching program. During these calls, parents interested in the program tell me about their challenges and goals. But this time, something stood out.

I was on the call with a mother and father eager to help their son with potty training and communication. However, throughout the conversation, they couldn't sit still. They were constantly moving, taking turns on the phone, and juggling various distractions. This was supposed to be a 45-minute Zoom call, but it felt like a whirlwind.

We all agreed that their child's potty training and communication were top priorities. But here's the kicker – their energy felt frantic and scattered. So, I had to be honest with them. I told them that while I believed my program could help, their chaotic energy was a concern. I'm pretty direct, you know.

The dad was taken aback and even offended by my comment. They explained they had three young children, all under five, and they had to make dinner during our call. Join me in this episode as we discuss why addressing chaos in parenting is essential for achieving your goals."

Hey there, it's Michelle Rogers, and I'm thrilled to invite you to the launch of our brand new podcast, "Our Story." This podcast is a deeply personal journey through the world of autism, and I can't wait to share it with you.

In "Our Story," I open up about my experiences as an autism mom and a life coach, taking you through the ups and downs of raising my daughter, Juliana, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of two. It's a journey of hope, resilience, and transformation, where I share my personal philosophy about three essential life skills for children with autism.

Join me on this inspiring journey as we explore topics like potty training, communication skills, and managing problem behaviors. Together, we'll discover the incredible power of determination, love, and unwavering support for our children.

🎙️ New Episode Alert! 🚀 Join me in the latest episode of the Autism Mom's Potty Talk Podcast, Episode 14, as we dive deep into solving problem behaviors. I'm Michelle B. Rogers, an autism mom and life coach, here to help parents of non-verbal children with autism achieve potty training success, guaranteed!

First off, I want to express my gratitude for the incredible support we've received since launching this podcast. Your feedback and downloads from all around the world are simply mind-blowing. Together, we're making a difference in the lives of families on the autism spectrum, and I'm truly honored to be part of this journey.

Before we tackle today's topic on problem behaviors, let me give you a quick family update. My daughter, Juliana, who was diagnosed with autism at age two, is now thriving at 10, going on 11. She's attending a general education class with minimal support, has friends, and is fully potty trained. The key, I believe, is my unwavering belief in my ability to be the best mother for her. It's been a transformative journey, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Now, let's get into the heart of today's episode – addressing problem behaviors. I believe that every child with autism can lead an independent life if they master three key life skills. We've covered the first two in previous episodes: potty training and communication. The third, which we're exploring today, is managing problem behaviors.

It's important to note that problem behaviors are often linked to a child's inability to communicate effectively. Functional communication is the foundation, and I've seen remarkable changes when children start to communicate, even non-verbally. Juliana's journey, learning sign language, was a turning point. Her tantrums decreased as her communication skills improved.

To help you navigate and solve problem behaviors, I've created a free guide, "The Autism Mom's Survival Guide to Problem Behaviors." You can get your hands on it by emailing me at Michelle@MichelleRogers.com, just mention the podcast.

We'll be diving deep into this guide, dissecting problem behaviors, and learning how to prevent them from happening again. It's time to break free from the cycle of feeling helpless and understand the "why" behind these behaviors.

Tune in now and empower yourself with the knowledge and tools to support your child on the autism spectrum. Together, we'll make a difference! 🌟 #AutismMomsPottyTalk #PodcastEpisode14 #ProblemBehaviorsSolved

Welcome to the "Autism Mommy's Potty Talk" podcast. I'm Michelle Rogers, an autism mom and life coach, specializing in assisting parents of non-verbal children with autism to navigate the journey of communication and potty training. In this episode,  after discussing breaking down potty training into multiple segments in the last podcast, today I'm dedicating this episode to tackling the challenges of teaching your child to handle poop separately. Much like my recent experience of potty training my cats, I've come to appreciate the value of patience and commitment in achieving long-term goals. The same principles apply when training children on the autism spectrum. The gradual process involves assessing your child's abilities, focusing on small wins, and understanding the sensory differences between pee and poop. Remember, it's all about building a strong foundation for successful potty training, just like my endeavor with my cats. So, let's delve into the specifics of poop training and how it fits into our comprehensive potty training plan.

"Hey everybody, Michelle here, and we're diving into a two-part podcast series on a topic that's on everyone's mind: potty training! 🚽💪 In this series, I'll be sharing everything you need to know to successfully potty train your child. We've seen incredible results in our 90-day group coaching program, boasting a 100% success rate for families who join us on this journey.

Potty training can be a major challenge for parents, and it's a question I receive frequently as an autism mom and life coach. So, I'm here to address this issue head-on and provide you with the knowledge and strategies you need. In these two episodes, I won't hold anything back.

Now, let's get into the details. In today's episode, we'll be focusing on the power of potty thinking. You might be surprised to learn that 95% of potty training success lies in our mindset, while only 5% involves the tactical aspects. It's essential to understand the impact our thoughts have on the entire potty training process. From the thoughts before we start to the thoughts during the process, our mindset can make or break our progress.

I firmly believe that almost all children and adults with autism, regardless of the severity of their symptoms, can learn to use the potty. Our program's 100% success rate reinforces this belief. Even if your child is nonverbal or preverbal, they have the potential to achieve potty training success. It's all about breaking through our limiting beliefs and embracing the possibilities.

In this series, I'll be addressing the mindset required for potty training and the tactical strategies that support it. It's crucial to realize that potty training isn't just about following a set of steps; it's about the thoughts and attitudes we bring to the process. Our thoughts shape our actions and ultimately determine the outcome.

I've seen incredible transformations in the lives of families who have embraced potty training. It's a pivotal moment that creates momentum and strengthens the bond between parent and child. Whether potty training is your child's aha moment or the starting point for a positive shift in your parenting journey, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

So, get ready to dive into the world of potty thinking and unlock the potential for success. Stay tuned for the next episode, where we'll delve into the tactical strategies that will help you achieve your potty training goals. Remember, with the right mindset, anything is possible. Let's embark on this exciting journey together! 💫🌈🚽 #PottyTrainingSuccess #MindsetMatters #PositivePottyTraining #BelieveAndAchieve #PottyPower"
