Sonia Chand is here to help us celebrate Autism Acceptance Month, which is the month of April. And I think for me, and there are probably a lot of parents right now listening, people who have friends that Are on the spectrum or have family members on the spectrum.
I think there is a misnomer in terms of being on the spectrum, ASD, Asperger's and the whole realm of different titles in terms of autism. I know Sonia will clarify this for us because we want to become experts and the biggest advocates for autism as we are obsessed with doing that. I think there are a lot of misnomers and going back 20, 30 years ago, what did I think of autism?
I thought of people that couldn't talk. I thought of people flapping their arms. I thought of people who didn't know how to express themselves, people who were relegated Or institutionalized, and I know I'm wrong about this, but this is how far we've come since the 1990s and in the 1990s, one in 150 children were diagnosed with a SD.
Now in the year 2024, one in 36 children are diagnosed with a SD. is a huge discrepancy in these numbers. And I know we have Sonia Chan who is the host of on the spectrum with Sonia. We'd love her. We've known Sonia for years and she is not only a bad ass, she is. A lawyer. She's a therapist.

There are a lot of things that you can do to be good. But what does it take to be great? That's one of the things that we'll delve into in this second part of an obsessed-filled episode featuring Evan Carmichael.
Many people aspire to goodness, but few aspire to greatness. Why is this? Is it because they don't believe they have what it takes? Or is it because they don't know what it takes? It is often said that failure is the key to success. This may be true, but it is also important to remember that greatness can come from failure.
It's not enough to be good at something to be great. You must be passionate about it and willing to put in the hard work to get there. In this episode, we'll explore with Evan what it takes to go from being good at something to being great at it, in addition to digging deeper introspectively with the insights about belief and grief from last week's episode!
Evan believes that entrepreneurs can be successful on their own terms. While dealing with some failures and problems, Evan was still able to find success at a young age and now runs a highly successful YouTube channel, is an author of four books, and is recognized by Forbes as a renowned speaker on leadership and social media. Evan is working to solve the world's biggest problem of people not believing in themselves enough through good karma projects and initiatives that have the potential to impact a billion people.

Based on research, Brene Brown writes, We can define humiliation as the intensity, the intensely painful feeling that we have been unjustly degraded, ridiculed, or put down, and that our identity has been demeaned or devalued.
From Dr. Laura Cobb-
"I wasn't good per se. The one time I felt like I was special was when I was voted captain my senior year, not because I was good. of my talent, but because of my ability to ring people up, the ringleader, the cheerleader, only to the extent of, we got this, let's do this, I support you. So after that, what manifested as I grew through my collegiate career, after 12 years of spending time sitting in a seat, listening to other people talk and writing some papers.
I walked across the stage as the Dean said to me, congratulations, Dr. Cobb. And I looked over my shoulder and I realized that she was talking to me. And for about 15 seconds, as I continued to walk across the stage, I was on a high like euphoria I'd never known. And I thought, oh my gosh, I did that. This is it."
Brene Brown, the author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines humiliation as:
The intensely painful feeling that we have been unjustly degraded, ridiculed, or put down, and that our identity has been demeaned or devalued.
Almost everyone has experienced the sensation of being humiliated. It's a feeling of helplessness, embarrassment, and rejection. Humiliation can quickly determine how we view ourselves in the years to come.
Dr. Cobb shares her own humiliation experiences and how they negatively impacted her life -- which extended to personal problems, eating disorders, and alcoholism.
For Dr. Cobb, humiliation doesn't necessarily have to be what other people see as it takes place in our minds and how it manifests in our bodies. But fortunately, she shares insights on how to get out of it!
Dr. Laura Cobb is a life coach who empowers high-achieving women to rid themselves of fear, guilt, and shame to proudly and confidently suit up, show up, step up, and speak up at every opportunity. She sees herself as an ordinary woman making extraordinary choices one day at a time.
