Hey guys hey! 💬 In this powerful episode of Adulting with Autism, I sit down with Zipporah Jarmon, founder of Within Me Coaching, who’s transforming lives through inclusive, identity-affirming life coaching for queer, BIPOC, and neurodivergent adults.
We get into the real-life tools and mindset shifts needed to navigate transitions like moving out, career changes, or simply setting boundaries while being your full self. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or unsure where to start—this episode is your blueprint to getting unstuck.
🔥 In This Episode:
-
Life coaching vs. therapy—how to know which one you need
-
Coaching queer and autistic BIPOC clients with compassion & results
-
Setting realistic goals for independence (and why grandiose plans flop)
-
Breaking internal & external barriers (yes, we go there)
-
Why representation in coaching matters
-
Building community that actually feels like home
💡 Zipporah’s approach is grounded in 12+ years of media, community, and coaching work—helping folks like us move forward with confidence, clarity, and care.
