I’m Dr. Mary Chang — Ed.D., behavior specialist, cancer survivor, autism advocate, and the unapologetic voice behind Dr. Mom.

I grew up in a dysfunctional, abusive home that taught me how to survive—and left me with memories that still haunt me. I’ve spent a lifetime turning those scars into something useful.

I worked with emotionally disturbed kids — the ones no one wanted. I earned my doctorate while raising four children (three in college, one with autism), working two jobs, and surviving a marriage that ended with betrayal and bankruptcy.

In 2023, I beat colon cancer without chemo or radiation. I rebuilt my health with food, movement, and mindset. I’ve got the scars and the receipts.

I don’t write self-help. I write real help — for parents, caregivers, and anyone trying to hold their life together while the world piles on. I am available to those who are fed up with fanciful advice and seek a straightforward approach.

You’ll get tools that work, stories that hit hard, and a voice that doesn’t flinch.

Let my courage be your invitation to rise. If I’ve succeeded, you can, too.

I write to challenge you, help you break through your excuses, and reveal the power you already possess.

When you transform your life, you also transform the world around you.
