In this episode, we sit down with Mackenzie Costron (she/her) — an autistic therapist, Certified Music Therapist, and Registered Counselling Therapist based in K’jipuktuk/Halifax, NS. Mackenzie shares her journey of weaving music therapy, counselling, and heart-centered facilitation into a business that reflects her values and supports both her clients and community.
We dive into the transformative power of music therapy, from helping adults with high-masking autism explore identity and sensory needs, to creating space for entrepreneurs to build sustainable, values-aligned businesses. Mackenzie opens up about how she started and grew her practice, Costron + Co, and the lessons she’s learned along the way about balance, authenticity, and resilience.
Whether you’re curious about music therapy, navigating entrepreneurship as a neurodivergent professional, or simply looking for inspiration to align your work with your values, this conversation will leave you feeling grounded, encouraged, and ready to explore new possibilities.
