Resilience Coaching Collective
Welcome to Resilience Coaching Collective!
A neurodiversity-affirming podcast where autistic adults and allies explore evidence-based, constructional approaches to resilience, emotions, and meaningful change.
Facilitated by certified BCBA, executive & resilience coach Belle Stikeleather, each episode features raw, unfiltered discussions with recurring autistic contributors (Aaron, Mina, Alex, and more).
We draw from the pioneering constructional approach of Israel Goldiamond, expanded by T.V. Joe Layng, and rooted in B.F. Skinner’s science, focusing on building strengths and repertoires rather than eliminating “problem behaviors.”
Expect compassionate, measurable strategies for:
- Bridging neurodivergent-neurotypical communication gaps
- Understanding behaviors through its function and possible patterns
- Fostering collective belonging through RCC (Resilience Coaching Collective) tools
Whether you’re an autistic adult, family member, educator, community leader, mental health or behavioral professional, this is your space for growth without stigma, turning conversations into actionable, long-lasting resilience.
