Where fierce love meets radical possibility.

Raising a child with a disability isn’t for the faint of heart—and if you’re a parent who refuses to give up on your child’s potential, you’re in the right place.

Hosted by TEDx speaker and Ph.D. Chemist Dr. Vaish Sarathy—mother to a non-speaking Autistic teen with Down syndrome—this podcast offers a bold new way to support your child’s learning, regulation, and independence without burnout or busywork.

You’ll discover how to:

- Create a flow state of collaborative learning at home

- Support brain + body health with practical, science-backed tools

- Use Non Linear Education to unlock growth in ways traditional systems never could

Hear from top educators, researchers, and self-advocates. And most importantly, believe again—in your child, and in yourself.

This isn’t about miracle cures or false promises. It’s about real change, built on real science, real strategies, and real hope.

Follow along to find your rhythm, fuel your energy, and finally feel like you're not alone on this journey.
