Overcomers Overcoming
Brandon and Michelle Barber faced cancer diagnoses, anxiety, business failures, burnout, and overwhelming moments. Instead of giving up, they chose to rebuild—not just their business but also their identity, purpose, and lifestyle. Their story is one of resilience, reinvention, and creating a company that doesn’t drain you—it liberates you. Their Turning Point: “There was a moment where we were done.

info_outlineDr. Kristen Williamson is a licensed professional counselor, neurodivergent advocate, and proud ringleader of a “neurospicy” family. Her life is a mix of late-night epiphanies, juggling mental health myths, and a daily dose of laughter as she navigates autism, ADHD, and parenting kids who keep her on her toes (and sometimes hiding snacks). Here’s the deal: growing up, she always felt like she was dancing to her beat, but nobody gave me the playlist. It wasn’t until adulthood that she realized she was neurodivergent, and suddenly, her quirks and challenges made sense. That “ah-ha” moment didn’t just change her life—it gave her a mission to help others embrace their differences and thrive. Now, she blends humor, personal stories, and practical advice to tackle big topics like: 1) Why neurodivergent brains are the secret weapon every workplace needs. 2) How to turn “chaotic energy” into a leadership superpower. And, 3) Why mental health isn’t all doom and gloom (yes, we can laugh about it sometimes!). When she’s not counseling clients or speaking on neurodiversity and DEIB, you’ll find her debating the merits of pineapple on pizza, struggling to perfect her meme game, or plotting her next adventure with her husband and kids. She keeps it real, relatable, and a little ridiculous—because who says growth can’t be fun? Her style is conversational and insightful, empowering, and sprinkled with humor. Together, we can make brains, belonging, and breakthroughs the most entertaining part of your home, workplace, and/or show!
