About this listen
In this episode of Dare to Be Us, we sit down with Leanna Todd, mom, massage therapist, and theatre director in Nova Scotia, to hear her story of resilience, advocacy, and creativity.
Leanna shares the challenges of raising her daughter, Moira, who is autistic, while navigating a health and education system that often falls short. From delays in assessments to gaps in support services, she opens up about what it really takes to care for a child and fight for inclusion.
We also explore how theatre and the arts can create spaces of belonging, and where even celebrated initiatives still miss the mark on accessibility. Leanna’s story is a reminder of the daily realities families face and the courage it takes to push for a life that’s truly inclusive.
Follow, share, and keep daring to be yourself.
