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.

Beyond Labels: Shattering Barriers in Autism & Mental Health
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Note: This episode was recorded in 2025, the language used during the session was Tag-Lish (a combination of “Tagalog, main language in the Philippines, and English”).
In this special Autism Awareness Month episode of Coaching for Change, we take a deep dive into the intersection of autism and mental health, and why it’s time to move beyond labels and focus on individual experiences, needs, and strengths.
We’ll explore the misconceptions, stigma, and systemic challenges that autistic individuals often face, especially when it comes to co-occurring mental health conditions. This episode sheds light on the importance of affirming environments, accessible supports, and constructional conversations that empower rather than pathologize.
Whether you’re a clinician, educator, family member, or someone living this reality, this episode will offer insight, empathy, and action steps to help us break down barriers and build more inclusive and supportive systems.
Topics include:
•Overlap between autism and mental health
•Challenges of being misdiagnosed or misunderstood
•The role of safe spaces in identity and emotional regulation
•How to apply a constructional coaching approach in support and advocacy
Let’s create a future where neurodivergent voices are not just heard—but valued and celebrated.
