In this powerful and necessary conversation, we sit down with Jordan Culpeper, behavior analyst and founder of I Hope Supportive Services , to explore how she's creating community, education, and hope for families navigating the unspoken and underserved. We talk about the dark gap in therapy for teens with disabilities, the need for direct conversations around intimacy, and why Jordan decided to launch a nonprofit to turn taboo topics into typical support systems. This is more than a podcast—it’s a wake-up call for therapists, educators, parents, and anyone who believes in dignity, agency, and access for all. 📍 Based in Tampa but reaching families nationwide. 📷 Brought to you by Paper Jacket — your production ally for story-driven media that matters.
