Welcome to Inclusive Stories , a podcast created for parents raising Autistic, ADHD, and all neurodivergent children, especially those navigating this journey as Black and ethnic minority families. My name is Brooklyn , a proud mum, disability advocate, author, and tea-loving Londoner raising two beautiful boys on the autism spectrum. This podcast was born out of my lived experience, fighting for support, battling cultural stigma, and learning to advocate fiercely for my sons in systems that weren’t built with them in mind. I know what it feels like to be dismissed, overlooked, or called “too much” just for asking for what your child needs. That’s why Inclusive Stories exists: To give our stories space. To make sure no parent feels like they are walking this road alone. In each episode, I open up about the real-life challenges and joys of raising neurodivergent children, and I sit down with other parents, educa

The Diagnosis That Changed My Past: Late-Diagnosed Autism, Masking and Motherhood
Sep 23, 202627 minS3
Brooklyn shares her personal journey of receiving a late autism diagnosis and the impact it has had on her life, motherhood, and self-understanding. She discusses the concept of masking, the challenges of late diagnosis, and the importance of self-compassion and understanding. She also addresses the experience of recognizing oneself through a child's autism diagnosis and the need for self-acceptance and support. Takeaways Late autism diagnosis can bring relief and grief, as it changes the meaning attached to one's life experiences. Understanding and unmasking oneself is a gradual process that requires self-compassion and acceptance.

When Life Forces You to Pause: Autistic Burnout, Motherhood and Starting Again
Sep 19, 202630 minS3
What happens when you still care deeply about your work, your family and your purpose, but your mind and body no longer have the capacity to keep going? In the opening episode of Season 3, Brooklyn Banjoko returns to the Inclusive Stories Podcast after nearly a year away. She shares why the podcast went quiet, what it means to experience autistic burnout while raising two neurodivergent children, and how receiving an autism diagnosis at 44 changed the way she understands her life. Brooklyn speaks honestly about the invisible demands of SEND parenting, masking, sensory overload, chronic exhaustion and the pressure to appear capable while struggling underneath. This episode is for autistic adults, late-diagnosed women, SEND parents, carers and anyone who has stepped away from something they love because life became too much. If you have been calling yourself lazy, inconsistent or a failure, this conversation may help you ask a different question: What support was missing?

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
