brave sparks | therapy-inspired stories for neurodivergent kids
brave sparks is a storytelling podcast 🎙️ created for and with neurodivergent kids — because we believe in “nothing about them, without them.” 💛
each episode is co-created in therapy 🧠🎨 and celebrates every child as a brave storyteller 🌟
stories support emotional regulation 🌊, body autonomy 🚶♀️, and self-advocacy 🗣️ — all grounded in the needs, voice, and strengths of the children who shape them.
we just help carry the mic. 🎤✨
