ABOUT THIS EPISODE (+ scroll for resources) 👇

Dr. Tay shares personal experiences and insights about making significant life changes. She discusses the challenges and importance of trusting one’s instincts, especially when overthinking sets in. Dr. Tay recounts a personal story involving a car accident and fire ants, which led her to a profound realization about her own business decisions, particularly the launch of the anticipated membership to support families navigating autism. She emphasizes the value of listening to your body, taking action despite fear, and leveraging gut feelings in both parenting and personal growth. This episode encourages parents, especially those of autistic children, to trust themselves and act on their intuitive nudges.
