  • 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."

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I'm your host Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution-Focused Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, and Addiction. I explore how perfectionism, hyperactivity, inattention, and compulsions manifest in preschool and kindergarten-aged children.

    Recognizing the early signs of ADHD and OCD in young children can be difficult, as young kids often lack the words to describe what they’re experiencing. Yet, early intervention can make all the difference in helping children manage anxiety, improve focus, and build emotional resilience.

    Using the DSM-5 criteria, real-life examples, and a Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) approach, this episode provides practical tools for parents and educators to create a supportive, structured environment for children struggling with focus, anxiety, and rigid behaviors.

    Tune in to discover:
    The difference between perfectionism and OCD-driven compulsions
    How ADHD impacts attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in young kids
    Real-life examples of what ADHD & OCD look like in a classroom or home setting
    Solution-Focused strategies to foster self-regulation and emotional resilience

    Using Solution-Focused Therapy, small shifts—such as deep breathing, sensory grounding, and structured routines—can create a safe and structured environment where children can thrive both at home and in the classroom.

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm your host, Stephanie Buckley, AMFT Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in ADHD, OCD and Addiction. In today's episode I explore the power of parenting with a united front and how it impacts a child’s emotional security, executive functioning, and behavior.

    When parents consistently support each other’s decisions, they provide a structured, predictable

    environment that helps children develop:
    Emotional intelligence & self-regulation
    Respect for authority & boundaries
    Executive functioning skills like problem-solving & impulse control
    Stronger social and relationship skills

    This episode will help you understand:

    Why inconsistency in parenting creates confusion & anxiety
    How undermining each other affects a child’s trust & decision-making
    Real-life examples of parenting conflicts & how to resolve them
    5 actionable strategies to build a strong, united parenting front

    If you’ve ever struggled with disagreeing on rules, discipline, or decision-making, this episode will give you practical tools to create consistency, teamwork, and a peaceful home environment.

    Key Takeaways

    Consistency Builds Confidence – When kids see their parents align, they feel secure and understand expectations.
    Avoid Undermining Each Other – Contradicting a partner in front of a child teaches manipulation instead of cooperation.
    Healthy Conflict Resolution Matters – Parents don’t always have to agree, but they should discuss disagreements privately and present a unified message.
    Structure & Predictability Help Kids Thrive – A strong parenting team provides the foundation for strong executive functioning, problem-solving, and emotional stability.
    Lead by Example – Children model what they see. Show them how teamwork, respect, and compromise work in action.

  • Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast, I'm your host, Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT, Solution Focued Marriage and Family Therapist, who specializes in ADHD, OCD and Addiction. Have you ever wondered why kids with ADHD seem to struggle with focus, organization, and impulse control more than their peers? Science has the answer! In this episode, I’m diving into the frontal lobe’s role in ADHD and why its development is 3-5 years delayed compared to neurotypical kids.This means that while an 8-year-old might technically be in third grade, their executive function skills could be more like a 5-year-old’s. It’s not a lack of intelligence—it’s a difference in brain development. And guess what? With the right tools and support, kids with ADHD can thrive.
