In this episode Michael and Dino are joined by counsellor Alana Lenart. Alana reveals how she moved from her long career in aviation to counselling as a result of her lived experience with her autistic son. 

Alana discusses her journey and how counselling has allowed her to support families in ways she felt were missing when she was going through a similar experience. Alana has collaborated with Emily Bourke (Assistant Minister for Autism) and has advocated for families of neurodiverse children within Adelaide and rurally. 

Alana's story gives incredible insight into how life experiences can shape and reshape a person
