We’re excited to share that two new podcast episodes featuring Liz Day have recently been released, following recordings towards the end of 2025. Across both conversations, Liz shares insights from her lived experience, professional background, and work through Collectively Diverse CIC - exploring neurodiversity, inclusion, mental health, education, leadership, and the important role sport and community can play in helping people thrive.

Despite years of policy reform, well‑intentioned strategies and passionate professionals, inclusion in education is still not working as well as it should. For many neurodivergent children and young people, the system continues to be something they must survive rather than thrive within. The consequences of this failure are profound, often affecting mental health, self‑esteem, educational outcomes and long‑term life chances.

In this episode, Liz reflects on her personal and professional journey through the lens of neurodiversity, weaving together lived experience, teaching, parenting, sports coaching and academic research. It's an open, insightful conversation that shines a light on the challenges and strengths of living and learning with dyslexia and ADHD.
