Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LPH68: Kari Baker on Faith, Autism, and Hope
Q: What role did faith play in your journey and in your writing?
Faith provided purpose and hope, guiding Kari to write Finding Kind and launch the Kind Families podcast to encourage and equip other families.
LPH63: Nancy Burrows on Music, Autism, and Connection
Q: So you said James was diagnosed at two and a half with autism. So how did your family change after that?
The diagnosis brought grief but also clarity; it shifted our focus to early intervention, advocacy, and building a system of supports around James' strengths while recognizing his needs. We staged a rapid, relentless search for services, created at-home and therapy-based routines, and learned to navigate medical and educational systems to keep James engaged and growing.
LPH64: Linda Galarreta on Becoming the Resource She Never Had
Q: How do you balance advocating for your kids with your personal and professional life?
Linda explains maintaining balance through role modeling advocacy within her community, leveraging her background in school social work and her ongoing commitment to practical supports like respite programs and ESY, while acknowledging the emotional labor and the necessity of accepting the journey.
LPH62: Jennifer VanSkiver on Helping Her Daughter Shine
Q: Jen, I would love it if you could tell our listeners a little bit about your family and your situation.
Jen describes a family of four, with two daughters: CJ, who has an intellectual disability, and Lily, who lives in Chicago and works in orthopedics. Both daughters are in the same field, which has redefined the parents' retirement plans and brought new purpose to the family.
LPH34: Mike Knox Advocates for His Daugther and 3 Million Other Americans with Epilepsy
Q: How has Vivian's life changed since the implant?
Vivian has been seizure-free for eight years, regained independence (driving, college, museum visits), and the family now experiences peace of mind that allows them to focus on future goals rather than constant medical crises.
