Hey guys, hey, happy Wednesday. Welcome back to the podcast. As you can see, I have all the noises happening today. It's a day where I'm trying to be productive and every single noise that can happen is happening. I have cats, I have trucks, I have beepity beeps, you name it, I got it. Really, I am trying to be productive and belt out episodes, which is unusual for me. Usually, I'm a last-second Sally. Ask my sister. I'm going to have her on the podcast too. She'll tell you. I am last second. And today, it's just a big ball of mess.

I am happy to have you guys back for another episode. It is episode 20. I can't believe I made it to 20. Thanks, guys. I really appreciate you guys. And I enjoy doing these. And I hope you're getting some info out of this. As I was, again, my cats with all the opinions. As I was doing this episode, my son Z was like, why do you have so many mental health people on here? You got like a kabillion. And I looked at him and I said, well, because not everyone speaks the same language. He's like, what? I was like, some people don't understand the language unless different people say the same thing a different way. And that's why I like to present information. That's the same from different people because not everyone gets it in the same way.

For instance, when I went to OT school, I was taking a neuroscience class and it did not matter who I talked to in class. I could not understand it for the life of me. It was the teacher, my classmates, they all tried to explain it to me. And I finally was like, I need somebody who speaks April language. So who knew me better than my sister? So she just explained it in my language. She grew up with me. So she just explained it in my terms. Same thing. I bring different people on to help you professionally. Maybe that, personally grow. And one person may not grasp it with one professional, but maybe they grasp it with another. And that's all I want to do is help everyone kind of personally grow. Parents, caregivers, young adults on the spectrum, adult in the spectrum, that want to take it to the next level. This is a big crazy world. We all need some help. We all need a little help sometimes.
