Hey Party People - Let's Meet Latasha!

Latasha loves being an Occupational Therapist and feels lucky to be an Occupational Therapy educator and business owner. She has been an Occupational Therapist for 13 years and has been teaching for 4 years. She loves all things advocacy and social justice, a typically forgotten aspect of practice. Her business, Thrive OT, LLC – a based practice specializing in sensory processing & executive functioning skills -- is new and blooming. She acknowledges it's been amazing to work on her own terms and provide quality meaningful care in client's natural environment (home/community).

Although she loves Occupational Therapy, her most important role is being a mother to an amazing, sassy, 5 year old who loves the Spice Girls as much as her mom. After seeking clarity on a related condition, Latasha was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Her disclosure and authenticity is an asset to her as a practitioner and person -- and she's excited to share her experience with listeners.

Tune in and get weird with us!

Hey Party People!

Join me for the next episode of “…but are you weird?” where we share time & space with Latasha, a practicing pediatric occupational therapist, occupational therapy educator, mom, and late diagnosed neurodivergent woman.

Latasha will share stories of her most recent parenting win, the philosophy of care she brings to her professional world, and, of course, her experience of being recently diagnosed with ADHD.

Along the way, we’ll share plenty of laughs, a whole lot of wisdom, and maybe even a howl or two – but really, a howl or two.

Tune in and get weird with us by listening to “…but are you weird” now streaming on your favorite podcast platform!

Until then, stay curious, stay kind, and definitely stay weird!

Hey Party People - Let's Meet Jordan!

Join me for the next episode we share time & space with Jordan Salzano, podcaster, author, and advocacy champion with deep-rooted values in service and giving back to the community... who also can't resist a good ol' meme reference.

In this episode, Jordan will walk us through the origin of the wisdom gained from life experience she shared in her first published book "The Everlasting Hunger for Improvement" and she'll share the stories of inspiration behind her upcoming, second book "Dead Ends on a Direct Road". She will also tell us all about the many, many advocacy hats she wears and she'll maybe even tell us about the kind of hat she'd want to... live in?

Until then, stay curious, stay kind, and definitely stay weird!

Jordan Salzano is from Long Island, New York and is a graduate occupational therapy student at Springfield College, in Springfield, Massachusetts. She is an aspiring motivational speaker with a niche in both autism advocacy and general motivation, a published self-help author, a self-help podcast host, a self-help content creator, and an entrepreneur. She published her debut self-help book, called The Everlasting Hunger for Improvement, in December 2020. She is publishing my second self-help book, Dead Ends on a Direct Road, in Fall 2025. She has spoken at national autism conferences, including the College Autism Network's College Autism Summit, the Autism Society of Minnesota's Autistic Community Summit, and The Milestones ConneXtion Autism Conference. She have also given anti-bullying presentations across the Springfield College campus, for clubs and organizations. Helping people live their best lives possible has been a passion of hers for many years, and as she will be implementing and practicing that for a profession in occupational therapy, she also wants to continue to help people live their best lives on-stage, on social media, in published books and works, and more.
