Autism to Awesomism with Suzy Miller

Suzy Miller is a pioneer in the field of Speech-Language Pathology having been one of the very first SLP's to understand the depth and magnitude of energy and vibration in working with autistic children. Her experience in becoming multi-dimensional from a spiritual level is mind-blowing and has paved and continues to pave the way in allowing for us to truly understand what unconditional love and understanding is in working with autistic children. To truly listen to what they are conveying to us and the collective.  Suzy is a visionary speaker, author, telepathic communicator, multidimensional seer and integration specialist. She began her life’s work after a child diagnosed with autism requested that she integrate his light body with the physical body so that he could function more fully here. Her success with his integration and many thousands of others with a similar request has encouraged her to use her skills to support anyone seeking to more fully express the essence of their true nature. A former Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, with a Master’s Degree in Education, Suzy has collaborated with professionals in a variety of fields from psychology, social work, mainstream education and medicine to leading edge scientists, metaphysicians, healers and new thought leaders. A lifelong student of consciousness, Suzy has personally facilitated the growth and mastery of hundreds of Awesomism practitioners and thousands of private clients worldwide. She supports the integration of unintegrated aspects of Self through private sessions, courses, workshops, articles, speaking engagements, and live events! She specializes in the integration of autism, childhood traumas and heightened spiritual experiences.  Suzy's website which hosts a plethora of resources and information, monthly offerings and her enlightening newsletter: https://suzymiller.com [https://suzymiller.com/] Suzy's brilliant must-read book Awesomism can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/AWESOMISM-New-Understand-Diagnosis-Autism/dp/1440102856 [https://www.amazon.com/AWESOMISM-New-Understand-Diagnosis-Autism/dp/1440102856]

Money Mindset as an SLP and Making a Shift with Cleo Matlou

Most SLP's are not paid enough in comparison to the heavy work loads they carry. We are often taught to practice from a  "lack mindset" instead of an "abundance mindset" with money and to function from a personal and professional lens of do more for less. A shift is urgently necessary to help avoid burnout. While there is always a need for advocacy, the truth is, a holistic mindset toward your relationship with money starts with YOU. All roads and paths will lead back to "self."  Our conversation with Cleo Matlou, a Money Mindset Coach was expansive and very empowering. She shares some foundational ways to make the necessary shift toward creating more capacity to receive wealth and abundance in your business, career and life. We speak about how many SLP's have subconscious beliefs that are controlling their internal narrative holding them back to try something new or reach their full alignment with their own unique footprint. Entrepreneurship is far from easy but keeping in mind the importance of "impact" and "income" can help set you up for success.  Website: https://www.womenaboutfinance.com/about [https://www.womenaboutfinance.com/about] Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/cleo-matlou [https://uk.linkedin.com/in/cleo-matlou] Instagram: @cleo_matlou [https://www.instagram.com/cleo_matlou/]

Telepathy and Spelling - And Hope Began

Many know Katie Asher as Houstons mom from the Telepathy Tapes. We had the honor of speaking to Katie and learning more about her entire journey from childhood to motherhood and everything in between. She is a single mother of five and fierce advocate for her son Houston and all other non-speakers with severe motor impairments. She is also the author of The Book of Heaven which led to her playing a key role in the award winning podcast The Telepathy Tapes. Houston was almost 22 years old before he had an opportunity to learn how to communicate. Before that day, when people would ask Katie what she wanted most in life she would shoot back, “I want to know my son! I want to know what he thinks and feels!” She shares in depth that the day their lives changed forever was when, after a few months of struggling on the letter boards, Houston was asked this question after a lesson on the history of the t-shirt. “If you could put any slogan on a t-shirt, what would it be?” and Houston slowly, letter by letter, spelled…        I        M        I         N        H       E        R        E.  And hope began. Katie's efforts are focused on dismantling institutions, policies, laws, and prejudices that have denied these ctiizens their legal and constitutional rights as well as dehumanized them. She holds this truth: " Unity can only happen after truth begets justice. Then love can win."  Follow Katie and Houstons journey on IG: @asherhousehope Purchase Katie's book on Amazon here:  The Book of Heaven- a story of hope for the outcasts, the broken and those who lost faith.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737898608?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_CBAWVRKBK99R635N8MWN&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_CBAWVRKBK99R635N8MWN&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_CBAWVRKBK99R635N8MWN&bestFormat=true The Telepathy Tapes: https://thetelepathytapes.com/ Listen to the Telepathy Tapes on either Apple Podcast or Spotify Watch the trailer of the upcoming film here: https://thetelepathytapes.com/trailer

From SLP to Spelling: Libby and John Paul's Story

Whether it is Spelling to Communicate (S2C), Rapid Prompt Method (RPM), the Spellers Method or Facilitated Communication, we can all agree that this arena of communicative support is nothing short of controversial. It is bewildering as to why especially with shared lived experiences and witnessing many children and young adults finally unlocking their voices and intellectual property via spelling. We had the wonderful gift of interviewing Libby Ingram who many will know from the Telepathy Tapes as John Paul's mom. Libby, an SLP, who has worked in a variety of settings shares her journey as an SLP and becoming a mom to twin boys, one of which was a non-speaking autistic.  She is a certified S2C practitioner since 2017 and now runs the foundation created in honor of her son.  This conversation will challenge the current echo chambers and narratives that deny acknowledging lived experiences. Libby's honesty, vulnerability and courage during this conversation is nothing short of pure love in true service to non-speaking autistic children and their families.

Nutrition, Complex Picky Eating and ARFID with Shandy Laskey

Nutrition is foundational and many of our children struggle with complex picky eating. Our guest, Shandy Laskey is an integrative Speech-Language Pathologist and pediatric feeding specialist, as well as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Documenting Hope Certified Health Coach. Combining her qualifications and her passion for holistic health and wellness, Shandy serves as an online nutrition, feeding, and development coach for parents of children with complex picky eating with and without developmental conditions (such as autism, ADHDs, sensory processing disorders, developmental delays, Down syndrome, PANS PANDAS, and more). She is passionate about helping parents improve and optimize their child's health, wellness, and development at home through nutrition and lifestyle changes, in addition to developmental strategies. In this episode, Shandy shares her insights from her own personal journey in dealing with chronic health issues and how this forged a path ahead with a niche and focus in nutrition and complex picky eating. We also speak about ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), how it's diagnosed and where it overlaps with PANS/PANDAS and Pediatric Feeding Disorders. The hope and intention is that parents and fellow clinicians feel empowered after listening to this episode.   You can learn more about Shandy's work and free resources at speakingofhealthandwellness.com [http://speakingofhealthandwellness.com/].
