🎹 Episode Title
Parenting, Burnout, and Finding Justice: Katie Price on Neurodivergence and the Innocence Project
✨ In This Episode
This is one of those episodes that sits in your body long after listening. Joanne chats with the passionate, hilarious, and no-BS Katie Price about late diagnosis, parenting four neurodivergent kids, and shifting from burnout to purpose. They unpack everything from the medical model to the prison system—and why Katie's now helping wrongfully convicted people through the Innocence Project. It's big-hearted, wide-ranging, and full of truth bombs.
🧠 What We Talk About
00:02 – Why Katie resisted a diagnosis and what finally changed her mind
00:14 – Raising four neurodivergent kids in rural Australia
00:30 – Rejection of the medical model and the harm of deficit-based labels
00:42 – The complicated relationship with NDIS and service providers
01:10 – Burnout, breakdown, and why hospital was the turning point
01:28 – How chickens (yes, really) and social justice shaped her career path
01:50 – From social work dropout to criminology and the Innocence Project
02:05 – Miscarriage of justice, systemic bias, and finding your purpose
💬 Memorable Moments
“You have to ride your worst day to get help. And even then, they make you prove it.”
“We're allowed to be shit at some things. It doesn't mean we're broken. It means we're human.”
“I was trying to fill holes in a bucket that was exploding. And then they gave me a sieve.”
