Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Lauren Gilbert, author of Ella and Her Neurosparkly Brain. Lauren shares how her background in education and leadership shaped her debut picture book celebrating neurodiversity. Inspired by her autistic and ADHD daughter, she offers insight into parenting, advocacy, and embracing every child’s unique sparkle. We’ll also talk about how Lauren completed the book while undergoing stage 4 colon cancer treatment—and the powerful message of resilience that carries. This episode will inspire families, educators, and communities to see the beauty in every brain.
