Differences NOT Deficits
Where being different is normal — and connection is universal.
This podcast is for the ones who’ve always felt a little off-script — and are starting to realize maybe they were never the problem. What started as a therapy-centered conversation has evolved into something deeper: an exploration of what it means to be fully human in a world obsessed with “normal.”
We still care deeply about supporting neurodivergent individuals and families — but now we’re widening the lens.
We’re talking about sensitivity, chronic pain, emotional intensity, burnout, masking, healing, and the thousand quiet ways people learn to hide who they are to fit in.
Hosted by Debbie (former speech-language pathologist turned soul-listener and Human Design guide) and Yolandi (behaviorist turned radical connector and label-questioner), this podcast explores what happens when we stop trying to fix people — and start seeing them.
Together, we talk about:
The harm in pathologizing difference
The beauty in unmasking and remembering who you are
The power of reconnecting with your body, soul, and deeper wiring
The systems that need rethinking — and the truths we’re reclaiming
Whether you’re a parent, a practitioner, or a person simply trying to feel more at home in yourself — you belong here.
This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being real.
Let’s unmask what divides us — and remember what connects us.
