We talk about starting before you feel ready, navigating systems that weren’t built for us, asking for help, and doing business with people, not over them.

In this episode, I sit down with Karina Melgar, founder of LEAPS Services, to talk about neurodivergence, cultural silence, and what happens when one person decides to turn injustice into impact.

We talk about what neurodivergence actually means, why so many people have been pushed to the sidelines, and how showing up locally can change lives — including your own. This one’s about community, courage, and doing the hard things before you feel ready.

✨ Tune in to get comfy with showing up for community— one brave step at a time.
