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 their 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.

When Trying Your Best Feels Like Too Much: Rethinking Success and Resilience
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Resilience Coaching Collective, the group explores our complicated relationship with failure—and how setbacks can become part of growth rather than the end of the road. Through honest reflections on health, work, education, burnout, expectations, and personal goals, the conversation examines how perspective, self-awareness, and realistic boundaries can shape the way we define both failure and success. The episode closes with a reminder that resilience is a process: learning, adjusting, trying again, and recognizing progress along the way.
