Episode 9 - Jasper Peach

Nicole chats with writer, speaker, and advocate Jasper Peach. Jasper is a trans, non-binary, disabled creative whose work centres joy, inclusion, and advocacy. They discuss the craft of memoir writing, parenting, neurodivergence, and how their book You’ll Be a Wonderful Parent came to life to fill a gap in resources for queer and disabled families.

Jasper shares deeply personal reflections on:

• Navigating writing and creativity as a neurodivergent person
• Balancing activism and rest
• Their experience transitioning to a full-time creative life during the pandemic
• The joy and labour of building inclusive media, like the talk show Unmasked
• Why hope and joy are radical acts in a challenging world
