  • Amazing podcast!

    I am such a super fan of your podcast. I am a mom to a non speaking 30 yr old. The episodes tackle so many of the challenges that we face as we advocate for our children. I await the drop of each episode! I applaud you ladies and the family members that have been on your podcast for authentically sharing your experiences and advancing awareness and acceptance of neurodivergent individuals.

    Very specific to their state but still excellent for anyone wanting to learn more. Very engaging. I only meant to listen to a few but have now listened to every episode.
