Tune in, be inspired, and join us in transforming the

world one story at a time. Hi, I'm Tony Mantor. Welcome to Why Not Me, embracing autism and

mental health worldwide. Before we jump in, if you haven't already, I invite

you to tap follow. It only takes a couple of seconds and it helps this show reach more families

who need to hear these conversations. Thanks for being here. Joining us today is Steph West,

the founder of Starfish Social Club, where she's helping neurodivergent kids and teens

become more confident, more connected, and more comfortable mean exactly who they are.

She's also an author, a speaker, a podcast host, and someone who proudly embraces her own ADHD brain

as part of her superpower. She didn't see just a need. She stepped into it,

built something that's changing lives, kids, parents, and entire communities. Her journey is fantastic.

So before we dive into our episode, we'll be back with an uninterrupted show right after a word from our sponsors.

Thanks for joining us today. Yeah, I'm excited to be on.
