In the latest episode of Wild Developments, I sit down with Steph West, the inspiring founder of Starfish Social Club. Steph shares her journey of supporting neurodivergent kids and teens, helping them grow from socially challenged to socially competent, confident, and connected individuals.
Steph's approach is grounded in the belief that every small action matters, much like the starfish story that inspired her club's name. She works with one child at a time, making a lasting impact on their social lives. Through fun and creative challenges, her students learn to be flexible, navigate group dynamics, and develop essential life skills.

Wild Wisdom:
- Small Steps, Big Impact: Whether you're working on personal growth or helping others, focus on making a difference one step at a time. Every small action counts, just like in the starfish story.
- Schedule Time for Nature: To strengthen your connection with the outdoors, start by adding it to your calendar. Whether it's a 30-minute walk or time in your backyard, making it a habit ensures it becomes a priority.
- Embrace Flexibility: Social skills, like navigating friendships, are often about adaptability. Practicing flexibility in group settings can help you develop stronger, more meaningful connections.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
