In this episode, we chat about her book and the experiences it explores as well her journey to motherhood and parenting neurodivergent kids.
Family did you know that 40% of homeless youth are LGBTQ plus, there are also so many of our youth in the foster care system, as well as many that are neurodivergent or neuro spicy, as Di says? Let's learn from Di about her experience and her book.
Di is the author of Indomitable, a memoir on foster care survival. She is a mother of two neurospicy kids, a DEI educator, and a social justice activist. Her experiences growing up on the outside as a foster kid with neurodiversity have given her a unique understanding of humanness that informs her practice and her life. Di’s passion is freeing other humans from the guilt and self-harm that can come from trauma and loss.
