• Why we question “normal” and celebrate the beautifully tangled web of diverse minds.
• How every episode will blend cutting-edge research, lived-experience interviews, solo deep dives and playful wit—in both English and Español.
• What lies ahead: from decoding therapies that feel like conversion camps to designing truly inclusive schools and workplaces.
