In this episode, we dive headfirst into the heavy and necessary topic of the colonization of neurodivergence with Christina Schmidt. 

I'm going to be honest with you: listening back, this conversation hit me with a wall of shame, guilt, and embarrassment. As an ADHD woman with a late diagnosis, verbally processing in real-time is how my brain works , but in my effort to unmask and unlearn, I ramble, I overtalk, and I didn't ask the deep questions I planned to. I was so embarrassed I almost didn't post this.

But this is what real-time self-awareness and unlearning looks like. It's often messy, awkward, and even cringe. The goal isn't to be perfect, it's to get curious about your discomfort.

As you listen, I invite you to turn the lens inward. Don't worry about doing well or getting it all right—just reflect and process:

• What in this conversation triggers your nervous system?

• Where does shame, guilt, or defensiveness show up for you?

• Are you willing to face the parts of the problem that benefit you?

• Are you choosing curiosity, or shutting down in judgment?

  
  

Our growth is in the honest reflection, not the initial performance. Remember: it's ok to TRIPP as long as its forward... Let's unlearn, grow, and get real af.

Paige shares her conversation with a friend about her frustrations that it took her 11 years to feel like a good SAHM.

Welcome back, fellow Tripper

In this powerful episode, I sit down with the amazing Stacey Badden, founder of Everything Autism Consulting Services and director of Taki Watonga Virtual Micro School. With over 30 years of experience as an SLP and an autism specialist, Stacy is a true powerhouse for neurodiversity.

We are diving deep into the unlearning journey required to become a champion for others, a "wave maker" in a world that wants us to stay silent.

In this conversation, we get real AF about:

• The Power of Authenticity: How Stacey’s strong-willed, unapologetic personality has always been her greatest strength.
• The Meaning of Takiwa Tonga: The beautiful philosophy behind her virtual micro-school, which emphasizes learning "in their own time, in their own space."
• Why We're So Afraid: A candid discussion about why so many parents fear an autism diagnosis and how we can change the narrative around neurodiversity.
• Challenging the System: A raw look into how our systems are designed for compliance, and the powerful, messy work of pushing back for the greater good.
• The Courage to Act: How to find the courage to stand up for what's right, even when it feels like you're risking everything.
• The Domino Effect: Why one person's willingness to unlearn and grow can create a ripple effect that changes the world.

Paige and Nora discuss Nora's work as a somatic coach specializing in helping anxiously attached women rewire their nervous system and embody secure love. Nora explains how her journey began after experiencing an unhealthy relationship, which led her to meditation and eventually coaching.

This episode explores:

• Attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, disorganized, and secure), the importance of creating safety in the healing process, and how somatic work helps resolve trauma by working with the body rather than just talking about issues.
• Nora emphasizes that boundaries are about maintaining connection with oneself rather than keeping others out, and suggests that tuning inward to recognize one's feelings is the first step toward healing and reclaiming personal power.
