Kim is aware of a few things:

1. She talks really fast — especially when she’s info-dumping — and despite her best efforts, trying to slow down doesn’t always work. But YouTube, like most podcast services, allows you to slow the video down (or speed it up) depending on your needs.

2. Some people prefer/learn better with visuals in addition to auditory/spoken info.

3. A visual medium allows Kim to unmask a bit more via use of visual memes, etc. of the seemingly random connections her brain makes on a regular basis

4. Many aspects of trauma-informed care is general/gestalt enough that the basics can be put out there for anyone — SLPs, OTs, PTs, nurses, teachers, paraeducators, parents — to learn.

5. It allows us to make educational content that is free for everyone to consume, but that might make us a little money to support things (e.g., an outside editor, someone to double-check the closed captioning (CC) ‘cause that’s not Kim-brain’s forte) if it gets popular enough.

6. Let’s face it, Kim is NOT GOOD at short-form content (i.e., TikTok and Instagram.) Long-form is where her info-dumping belongs.

So, YouTube channel it is!

The channel has video versions of podcast episodes, but it also has some extra content that doesn’t quite fit with the podcast, such as:

• Kim’s personal experiences with her own mental health

• Dismantling her internalized ableism

• Her perspectives on The Neurodiversity Movement and neurodiversity-affirming care.

• And more!

Just watching (and liking/subscribing/sharing for algorithm-reasons) is enough to support what we do! And hopefully, the information is helpful to you.
