Læs mere Awesome Nonspeakers

For over 12 years, I have worked with nonspeakers and their families. This podcast is a place where I share what I have learned, what I am still learning, and the unique tools that have helped so many families feel more calm, connected, and supported. Here, I presume competence, honor connection, and make space for hope and expression for nonspeakers, unreliable speakers, and their families. You’ll hear interviews with parents and insights from nonspeakers and unreliable speakers. You will hear about my experiences with Spirit to Spirit communication, the Hill, and the journey that led me to begin sharing this sacred part of my work more openly. I talk about AAC, spelling-based communication, sensory experiences, regulation, energy work, The Telepathy Tapes, and the deeper ways connection and communication can grow beyond spoken words. This podcast supports families with children across a wide range of diagnoses and experiences, including autism, apraxia, aphasia, Down syndrome, and more. If you know there is more to your child than the world may see - or hear, this podcast is for you. I keep the weekly episodes short, practical, and full of useful encouragement.

episode #61 Energy Session: Bryson's Beach Incident Cleared! cover

#61 Energy Session: Bryson's Beach Incident Cleared!

A Sample Energy Session: That Quickly Turned Real! In episode 52 I said I’d try recording a sample energy session, so I did—using a real situation from when my son Bryson was little and lost a plastic boat at the beach. I start to walk through how I’d do a session (usually with the mom), including asking questions, pausing for a prayer, noticing emotions like sadness, worry, and fear, clearing a negative cord to the beach/ocean, and releasing beliefs like “the beach is not safe” and “the ocean steals things from me,” then replacing them with safer beliefs. As I recorded, something deeper came up connected to tsunami energy around when Bryson was conceived, and I also realized I needed to clear my own fear about Bryson living by the ocean. I end by sharing what a successful session can feel like and inviting someone to do a free recorded session. 00:00 Why This Session Matters 00:54 Setting Up The Demo 01:47 Intake Questions And Prayer 04:07 Clearing Emotions And Cords 06:08 Releasing Limiting Beliefs 06:46 Tsunami Network Revelation 08:37 Installing Safe Beach Beliefs 10:06 Checking For Objections 10:21 Clearing Mom's Beach Fears 12:35 Closing The Session 12:45 What A Session Covers Curious about working with me?

episode #60 Why Should You Try Energy Work? cover

#60 Why Should You Try Energy Work?

Energy Work 101: Clearing the Traffic Jams in Mind, Body, and Spirit In this episode I explain energy work in a simple way using a traffic jam analogy: when something blocks the flow in our mind, body, or spirit—like stuck emotions, limiting beliefs, trauma, or even “energetic weapons”— it can create problems in mood, thoughts, relationships, and physical symptoms. I also clarify that energy work is a complimentary tool and doesn’t replace doctors, therapists, or good nutrition. Curious to see if energy work could help you?

episode #59 Does Your Nonspeaker Think You Can Hear Their Thoughts? cover

#59 Does Your Nonspeaker Think You Can Hear Their Thoughts?

In this episode, I share a message I often pass along from non-speaking clients to their parents: some kids believe they’re communicating mind-to-mind to their parents, because they can hear their parents’ thoughts and assume it works both ways. This can lead to frustration when parents don’t “listen.” In Spirit to Spirit Sessions I explain that most parents can’t hear their child’s thoughts, they “hear” with their ears. It will help your child if you tell them directly, “I can’t hear what you’re thinking, I only know how to hear thoughts with my ears” and to name the ways you can understand—pointing, leading by the hand, spelling, or using a communication device. I also encourage parents and siblings to keep speaking out loud because the nonspeakers are listening with their ears (in addition some with their mind) and want to be included.

episode #58 Joybubbles: The Sundance Film That Touched My Heart cover

#58 Joybubbles: The Sundance Film That Touched My Heart

This week I share about a documentary I saw at Sundance called Joybubbles, The film follows Joybubbles, a man born blind who learned to whistle into the telephone to make free calls in the 1950s and 60s as a “phone freak,” later working for the phone company and living independently, including in a high-rise apartment he’d long dreamed about. He describes a childhood near-death experience involving “bubbles of love,” which reminded me of the Hill and how kids have described similar “love bubbles.” Later, he watched Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood archives to heal. Near the end of his life he created a phone-based “podcast” of joyful recordings people could call, then reach him personally for support. The screening’s audio description also taught me new ways to make movies more accessible for blind loved ones and reinforced how essential communication and being heard are, especially for nonspeakers.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
