Surpassing Expectations

This is an extra special episode for me as I sit down with a former student of mine who has become a principal at my son's school as well as business owner of an inclusive coffee shop that employees teens and adults with disabilities.  She recently shared her journey and vision in our sit down.

In this episode, I interview Grace, a recently diagnosed neurodivergent preteen and her mother.  We delved into their journey to Grace's diagnosis and how she has become an advocate for herself, and others.  Grace shares her personal experiences and how the diagnosis has impacted her life, while her mom provides insight into the family's perspective and the steps they took in their journey.  The conversation highlights the important of self advocacy as well as embracing what makes all us all awesome!

In this episode we sit down with Katrina, mom to two Autistic kiddos of our at the gym.  Their family has been there from the beginning of our journey of having the sensory gym.  Her son was our first respite client!  She values our gym and is such a huge part of the supportive community we've built helping manager our Support Group FB page.  Her dedication and feedback inspire us to continue providing a safe space and inclusive environment for all.

In this episode Heather discusses the various services that her indoor inclusive sensory gym has to offer the Neurodiverse/Special Needs Community as well as Neurtypical families.  

In this podcast episode meet Izzy, whose son is a regular friend of ours at the gym.  We discuss her journey navigating the diagnosis, triumphs and challenges they've experienced, and the support systems they've established along the way.  Her insights offer a heartfelt look into the daily parenting of a Neurodiverse/Special Needs child and the importance of community and understanding.

In this episode we discuss our Parent and Caregiver Support Group that offers resources and experiences from other families living in similar life journeys.  This safe space celebrates achievements and discusses challenges as well as shares options and resources for parents to feel well informed to make a decision that is best for their family.

In this episode, I interview one of our families from the gym to discuss their experiences and insights she has to offer other families beginning their diagnosis journey.   

In my first podcast episode, I dive into the motivation behind starting this series: to share valuable insights, stories, and experiences that can inspire and inform listeners.  My goal is to create a space for meaningful conversations that matter, providing both entertainment and education.
