NACHOS—Neuro-Affirming Conversation Hour for Outreach and Support—returns with an exploration of neurodivergent presence, planning, and self-care.

What do whale pods, frozen wolf pups, disability policy, and your morning cup of coffee have in common?

More than you might think.

In this week’s episode of NACHOS (Neuro-Affirming Conversation Hour for Outreach and Support), we trace a powerful and tender thread of care—from prehistoric life to modern disability justice, from psilocybin-assisted therapy to the quiet brilliance of your own brain mapping movement through the world.

We explore:

• ​ What ancient animals teach us about human dignity and belonging
• ​ A groundbreaking study on psychedelics and long-term mental health recovery
• ​ How your brain senses space, movement, and possibility—before you even act
• ​ The U.S. House’s vote to prohibit disability discrimination in organ transplants
• ​ A visionary hotel redefining accessibility for disabled travelers
• ​ Why care—both daily and transformative—is central to being fully human

You’ll also hear about our upcoming events:

• ​ My keynote lecture for Yale’s CASY Summer Camp (now live)
• ​ The Breaking Barriers Disability Pride celebration in Lansing on July 29
• ​ The Michigan Disability Empowerment Conference (MDEC) on October 24 at Henry Ford College

This episode is a reflection on care, community, and what it truly means to belong. If you’ve ever felt on the margins, or longed for a softer way of being in the world—you are not alone. You are part of something ancient and rising.

Watch now. Breathe deep. And come home to yourself. This is NACHOS.
