This podcast is hosted by myself, Dr. Matt Zakreski, a clinical psychologist and speaker, alongside our co-host and producer Jake Noonan, an educational coach and humanities teacher. We are here to leverage our personal and professional experiences as neurodivergent specialists to inform and entertain the world around us. And, since we can’t do that on our own, we’ve collected an incredible group of professionals from all walks of life who use their time and talent to support the neurodivergent community. When we know more, we do better, and the goal of the #NooN podcast is to provide our listeners with as much information as possible to make your lives better. Because, as Dr. Matt always says, we can’t always make your lives EASY, but we can make them EASIER – and that is just as important! If you’re neurodivergent, someone who loves a neurodivergent person, or works with neurodivergent people, then Nerding out on Neurodiversity is the show for you. Come on this journey with us! We’ll laugh, cry, learn, and make obscure nerdy pop culture references, we’ll have fun – we promise!

This episode we have the great privilege to speak with Claire Sabatine, the visionary founder and CEO of Powerplay! Claire's journey has been nothing but inspirational -- especially in how she can seamlessly blend her experiences as an actor, educator, and producer. Through Powerplay, Claire uses performance-centered techniques and approaches to genuinely help anyone recognize that their voice has power. From boardrooms, classrooms, and theatres, Claire's work helps remind all of us about the importance of play! 🥳
We loved our time with Claire and know you will, too! It was incredible getting to hear about her motivations to blend play, performance, and humanity in such a meaningful manner. Claire's compassion, creativity, and insight make her a wonderful and authentic bridge between the multiple masks we all wear and how we can play and perform in the world. Her ability to show that play doesn't go away after you're 'done being a kid', it transcends into being a sincere avenue for growth, introspection, and curiosity. Thank you for your time and wisdom, Claire! We are so appreciative of you, Powerplay, all you bring the world! 🥳🎉
-- What if we didn't stop playing? --
Claire Sabatine can be found at her website as well as on her Instagram and LinkedIn as well as Powerplay's Instagram!
