Season 2 Trailer

After a long break filled with healing and unlearning, Differences NOT Deficits is back — with deeper conversations, broader perspectives, and way more realness. This season, we’re expanding beyond neurodivergence to explore all the ways people feel “different” — and the harm in trying to make everyone “normal.” Join Debbie and Yolandi as they unmask old labels, share personal truths, and invite you into messy, meaningful conversations about what it really means to be seen, supported, and fully yourself.
