What happens when people come together to share experiences, challenges, lessons learned, and hope?
Real connection happens.
That simple idea inspired In The Same Boat, a podcast from Jay Nolan Community Services.
Created by Jay Nolan CEO Edward Amey, the podcast was born from a desire to bring thoughtful, honest conversations to the neurodiversity community. Each episode features voices from across the community, including self-advocates, family members, professionals, educators, community leaders, and others who help create a more inclusive world.
The goal of the podcast is simple: provide valuable information that people can use in their daily lives.
Although perspectives may differ, everyone is navigating many of the same waters. Parents often search for guidance and support. Self-advocates work to ensure their voices are heard. Professionals dedicate their careers to advancing opportunities and inclusion. Community members seek greater understanding and meaningful ways to make a difference. That shared experience is the inspiration behind In The Same Boat.
Whether you are a parent seeking support, a professional looking for new ideas, a self-advocate sharing a similar journey, or simply someone who cares about building a more inclusive society, In The Same Boat is designed for you. Because while no two journeys are exactly alike, we can all learn from one another when we’re rowing in the same direction.
