Welcome back, friends! It's been a while. And I've been battling some raucous depression/anxiety/and complex PTSD due to childhood trauma. Wheee! So I decided to dive into the world of psychedelics (doctor approved in a clinic) to try to help myself heal. Finally. This is part 1 of my experience exploring healing through ketamine. Join me. It's quite a ride so far.

Episode 33 - The School District Lost My Autistic Kid
You read that right. In this "practically-a-double-episode" episode I go into great detail about all of the transportation issues we've had with the district, the small group transportation, the general bus, and many MANY other frustrations.
I also ask you, my dear friends, to help me figure out HOW to help fix this issue. I welcome your ideas and thoughts and brilliance.

Episode 32 - Risk-Reward Or Bribery
Today's episode is sponsored by the dude mowing his lawn outside my window.
Despite the noise and my futile attempts to quiet the sound on the episode we are talking about rewards and bribery with kids - specifically neurodiverse kids.
I also dive in and share my struggles with having to pause some of my creatives desires because my priorities are focused elsewhere (i.e. my kids) at the moment.
But I also shout out my friends who are doing their thing, taking their creative ideas and running with them! It's very exciting.

Episode 31 - Thoughts And Prayers, Right? With Guest Jon Wolter
We welcome back to the podcast, Jon Wolter (www.jonwolter.com) my husband and partner in our continued struggle to find calm during the storm of these mass terrorist attacks on our country. TRIGGER WARNING: We talk about school shootings and the current climate of our country with the back-to-back mass murders by white supremacists.
We dive in about how our son, Jackson, would likely not be amongst the survivors of a school shooting and why. This was not an easy episode to record but given the circumstances of other parents and especially parents who have kids with special needs or disabilities we knew we had to address it.
We'd love your feedback.

Episode 29 - Integrated Listening Program - Is It All Just Woo? This week I catch you up on what's been going on with Jackson and Jordan. Jackson participated in an Integrated Listening Program and I discuss the results we are seeing there. Also, we take a look at how his ADHD meds are affecting him. Jordan has some new evaluations through EI and is making progress in PT. He refuses to say, "Mama" because...of course he does.

Episode 27 - Crap, I'm A Racist -- Now What? - Part 1 - With Tania Richard I'm so excited to introduce Tania Richard from Tania's Take Podcast (find her on INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK
We talk about race, the culture of race, how Jackson keeps mistaking one black man for another black man and so. much. more.
I also come to terms with the fact that yes, in fact, I am racist. And, frankly, so are most of us. Wooo boy. Yup. This is part 1 of 2 and I'm so excited to bring you the talented and incredible Tania Richard!
(btw if you want to buy Tania's amazing book she self-published!! Here's the link to the amazon page)

Episode 26 - Representation Matters -
We've come a long way in representing folx with special needs on TV, in films, on stage, and in art in general. But are we actually representing them fairly? This week I explore a few shows that I feel do a good job addressing the world of special needs (Autism and Down Syndrome, most specifically) yet, I also explain how mostly black and white the examples are. And how we are better aware, now, so it's time to explore the grayer areas - the more realistic representations of autism within the home or within the school setting.
I'd love to hear what shows you feel have done a just or unjust job of representation with special needs (not just autism but anything you want to share!) And please find me on facebook and Instagram at Ali: Real-to-Reel and share your thoughts there!

It's Episode 25! Woo hoo! Today (after finally publishing after a number of technical issues - WE PERSEVERE!) I talk about reading the room. It's a term that Jon and I use often (it's also used in theatre/acting as knowing your audience). We find that Jackson struggles here but, honestly, MANY people do. We all have had these moments - it's just with Jackson it's more common. I also reflect on some auditions and getting out of the house with no kids for a long and amazing day in the city. Enjoy! (Happy Pride 2019)

Episode 24 - The Thief Of Joy --- This week I dive into the world of comparisons. I talk about how in the acting community it's common to compare our current success with someone else's. And the feelings we feel (jealousy/envy) and how we deal with them (or do not deal with them). I also talk about how I try not to compare Jackson to others but I often fail in that realm AND, now, how I am handling comparing Jordan's development with what I remember about Jackson's. So, it's a LOT but I share a technique I am currently trying out which, fingers crossed, will help! Please feel free to share this podcast with anyone you think could benefit from it. And comment here or on facebook or Instagram (@alirealtoreel) with any thoughts/responses you might have.

EPISODE 23 - LOYALTYToday's episode focuses on loyalty in Jackson's world (therapists, clinics, teachers, etc) as well as loyalty in friendships (mine) and the theatre world. I delve into some of the ways artists are often abused, scammed, taken advantage of all in the name of loyalty to the project or even advancing our careers.
-
In this episode I take you through my interpretation of coaching vs teaching. I am a coach and while I've taught (in the past) let's just say I'm a much more skilled acting/vo coach. I delve into what our summer is going to look like for Jackson (spoiler alert: we're still scrambling) and, per usual, I get a little vulnerable. (What else is new, right??) Don't forget to rate and review this little podcast so those who need to see it, can find it in the world of algorithms ;) Thanks for listening, friends!
-
This week's episode is all about a great breakthrough moment for Jackson - he engaged (unprompted!) in pretend play. Hear all about that story and why pretend play is often challenging for kids on the spectrum in this episode. I also talk about how it emotionally affects me, personally, that Jackson doesn't easily gravitate to pretend play since playing pretend is actually part of my chosen career.
