    Fit Over Tradition: Rethinking Vacations for Neurodiverse Families (EP 81)
    Jun 22 2026

    Dr. Theresa Regan explores how vacations can serve restoration rather than appearances for neurodiverse households. She urges families to prioritize what fits each person this year—considering sensory needs, energy, and life changes—rather than following traditions or social expectations.

    Practical ideas include flexible plans, staycations, and making space for different ways of recharging so everyone can return home feeling restored and connected.

    Conversation as Exchange: Three Ways We Connect (EP 80)
    Jun 4 2026

    Dr. Theresa Regan explores how conversations move beyond exchanging information to creating connection. Using childhood play as a model, she outlines three core building blocks—making space for the other person, offering something personal, and allowing mutual influence—that help conversations feel satisfying and shared.

    She explains how these principles apply in adult interactions, links them to theory of mind, and offers three reflective questions to improve everyday conversations and relationships.

    The Social Power of Stories: Why Conversation Is More Than Facts (EP 79)
    May 21 2026

    In this episode, Dr. Theresa Regan explores how conversation often serves social and relational purposes beyond sharing facts. She explains the difference between semantic (factual) and episodic (experiential) memory, why personal stories invite connection, and how storytelling can look different across neurotypes.

    Listeners will learn how to recognize conversational invitations, practice sharing sensory and emotional details, and receive stories with warmth to deepen relationships.
