Episode 1 introduces your hosts, Toni and Kate, and the heart behind Sip & Stim.

Toni shares her journey from Behavioral Health Technician (BHT) to Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and the experiences that shaped how she supports children and families.

Kate opens up about her son Greyson’s story, the lessons she has learned as a mom, and the moments that changed her perspective forever.

Together, they talk about the gap they saw in the autism community, why they created this podcast, and what they hope every parent walks away feeling: seen, supported, and less alone. They also share what makes Sip and Stim different from other autism and parenting resources, what listeners can expect from future episodes, and why taking things day by day matters so much for families navigating autism, parenting, ABA therapy, and everyday life.
