Podcast appearances and mentions of jess edelstein

Wheels On My Back is...back! As passionate as I am about the neurodiversity paradigm it turns out I'm not actually that passionate about solo podcasting. Something about speaking into a void and lots of ~steps~ to produce an episode... but I'm figuring it out! Because this is an important topic to me and we're gonna keep it going!Anyway, the first part of episode 5 is addressing why I'm so comforted by internalizing the phrase "thank you for being"  - especially as somebody who was diagnosed ADHD in childhood and autistic in adulthood as I worked through healing my CPTSD. I think folks who are diagnosed ADHD as adults tend to romanticize early diagnosis, but without the neurodiversity paradigm, that's still not a great time either.Here's the post by What In The ADHD I reference. I think this infographic does a powerful job of illustrating why growing up neurodivergent is so difficult, whether your neurodivergence is recognized or not. The second part of the episode is about Monotropism - or having an interest-based attention system, which is something both ADHDers and autistics share. There's a great tip in there for teachers and parents, so definitely listen if you know a kiddo with an intense interest. And, if you're into dogs, Broadway, the neurodiversity paradigm, astrology, or soapmaking....we could probably be friends :) Also! I have and Etsy shop where I sell my soap now.

Jess Edelstein is an award-winning entrepreneur (Shark Tank, Forbes 30 Under 30, EY Winning Women), #actuallyautistic neurodiversity advocate, mental health enthusiast, meditator, dog lover, Broadway geek, soap maker, idealist, and in general a multi-passionate nerd inspired by making the world a safer place for all. She'll talk your ear off if you let her, so starting a podcast just made sense. She likes it when things make sense. Unlike writing her own bio in the third person. Why is this even a thing? Ok I'm gonna stop typing n

The Neurodiversity MovementOn episode 2, I discuss the neurodiversity paradigm and the social justice movement associated with depathologizing neurodivergences. In other words, I talk about why society needs a shift in perspective around autism and ADHD with the help from a November 2020 interview with Nick Walker, PhD on Liebertpub titled “Towards a Neuroqueer Future”.There's a LOT of information packed into this half hour, which serves as an overview/crash course to familiarize listeners with topics that will continue to come up on the podcast and honestly, topics I want you to be aware of whether you're neurodivergent yourself or know/work with/parent/teach somebody who is. I also introduce an idea I have that perhaps antivaxers could pivot to neurodiversity advocacy, which may not be the hot take I think it is but shared just in case ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Plus, commentary on the upcoming Color The Spectrum fundraiser and why neurodiversity advocates are NOT happy about it (#nothingaboutuswithoutus!!!)Thanks for listening! And thank you for being

Note: This episode originally published in 2021 has been re-recorded to address audio quality editing errors and to update some language. In other words, my perfectionism got the best of me :) Thanks for listening! This is the most in-depth I've ever shared publicly about my experience growing up neurodivergent. The goal for this episode is to illustrate how the current medical and educational models fail to meet the needs of ND kids (and have for a long time), and what neurodiversity advocates mean when we say that all ND behavior is communication.If you teach or parent neurodivergent kids with challenging behaviors, I hope you can listen with an open mind.Though this is my story, certain elements are far from unique. Content warning: bullying, medication, caregiver abuse, support classrooms, meltdowns, tics, behavior contracts, planned ignoring, helplessness, suicidal ideation, digestive problems, masking, internalized ableism, and more.  Jess Edelstein is an award-winning entrepreneur (Shark Tank, Forbes 30 Under 30, EY Winning Women), #actualyautistic neurodiversity advocate, mental health enthusiast, meditator, dog lover, Broadway geek, soap maker, idealist, and in general a multi-passionate nerd inspired by making the world a safer place for all.

In this pre-episode/trailer/intro thingy, I describe where the phrase “wheels on my back” comes from and share little about me and why I'm starting this podcast. I briefly discuss the neurodiversity paradigm vs the pathology paradigm, why it matters, and why #actuallyautistic adults like me are speaking out at all. At the end of the episode, I introduce the podcast's theme song. Jess Edelstein is an award-winning entrepreneur (Shark Tank, Forbes 30 Under 30, EY Winning Women), #actualyautistic neurodiversity advocate, mental health enthusiast, meditator, dog lover, Broadway geek, soap maker, idealist, and in general a multi-passionate nerd inspired by making the world a safer place for all.

Have you ever wondered about what goes on in the mind of a true entrepreneur - especially one in the wellness world? Jess Edelstein is a prime example of someone who took her side hustle to a multi-million dollar business in a few years - and has still stayed humble and vulnerable along the way. Jess had a “typical millennial” experience after college. Which looked like working at a pet store and trying to make it on Broadway. After being fired for being too independent and too assertive (multiple times) she knew that she would be her own boss one day. Cue making natural deodorant products in her kitchen. Jess started a natural deodorant company, PiperWai, from scratch. Since then, she’s been named on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, appeared on Shark Tank, and a host of other respected media outlets for her work in creating a natural deodorant that doesn’t stink. Tune in for a dose of inspiration, and a fresh perspective on entrepreneurship, the wellness world, and going for your dreams. Because according to Jess - you just need to get out there and do it.

You'll learn the top most critical hormones when it comes to weight loss, what creates imbalance, and some simple steps you can take to ensure they're working for you—rather than against you! Next, we have my very special guest Sarah Ribner who is an entrepreneur and co-founder of Piper Wai. Sarah's success story on Shark Tank has been seen on Forbes, Shape, QVC, HSN, Self Magazine. Listen in as Sarah shares what inspired her to get into the field of Natural Deodorants and what we should be aware of as consumers when it comes to taking care of our health and overall wellbeing. [BULLETS] Tony shares what hormones are and what they actually do in our body's... How fiber-rich, nutrient-dense, plant-based and Beauty Detox diet help with hormones across the board... We break down what leptins, ghrelins, adiponectin, cortisol, and insulin are and how they affect the body...

We discuss how PiperWai has been able to navigate the waters of going up against big pharmaceuticals in this 18 Billion dollar industry when conventional deodorants have such harmful chemicals in them... How to overcome the biggest complaints about natural deodorants and how to overcome these pitfalls...     [FEATURED GUESTS] About Sarah Ribner It all started when Jess Edelstein decided she'd had enough of the struggle with harsh, chemical ingredients in typical deodorants that irritated her sensitive skin. There had to be better way to stay dry and odor free. So she set out to invent her own formula from completely natural ingredients that aren't "powder fresh" and wouldn't burn or rash. She found the answer in her own kitchen mixer, using activated charcoal, essential oils, and natural moisturizers. To test it out, she shared it with her best friend Sarah Ribner who took it on a trip to South America. It held up trekking through the hot and humid weather, and by the end of her trip, Sarah was a believer. The co-founders, Sarah and Jess (both finalist in Forbes 30 under 30), first became business partners in elementary school at their lemonade stand. Since airing on ABC's Shark Tank they are making headway into the health and wellness field and have been seen on FORBES, Shape, QVC, HSN, Inc, Self, and many other outlets.
