LISTEN NOW
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.
