On this episode, Stacy and Torrin are joined by Rachelle Vartanian to talk about the services available to adults with autism. Rachelle is the founder of the Living and Learning Enrichment Center in Northville, Michigan. There, they offer job skills training, support groups, and social programs tailored for autistic teens and young adults. Rachelle, an autism parent herself, was inspired to found her center after noticing the lack of supports accessible to her autistic son. We spoke about the LLEC's mission, the services they offer, and Rachelle's vision for the future. We also touched on Rachelle's journey as an autism parent.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
