Hey there, it's Debbie. Today's episode is a special re-release of a favorite conversation from the archives. Unless you're a longtime listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one before. And even if you have, you just might get something completely different from it this time around. It's been really cool. It's really fun that we have this project to do together and that he feels he does. He feels like an advocate, like he has something important to say. He feels very he feels like protective of other kids like him. He wants other kids to feel as good about themselves as he feels about himself. And so he kind of like wears this badge like it's part of my job is to help other parents.
parents realize how awesome their kids are. Welcome to the Till Parenting Podcast, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Reeper, and today's episode features an interview with, well, with me. Since the launch of Tilt and the crazy viral response of the little launch video Asher and I made to announce it, like seriously, the video has been viewed over 25,000 times, which is so cool. And kinda crazy. But since that launch day a few weeks ago, I've been getting a lot of emails from people curious to know more about me and Asher, as well as the impetus for creating Tilt. So today, my dear friend Gia Duke, an entrepreneur, change maker, and coach who's been supporting my developing of Tilt since day one, and has also been an incredible support for me as a friend while I've been figuring out my way, parenting Asher, is going to interview me as a way to share.
A bit of my story. My hope is that our conversation will give you more of a sense of where I'm coming from as I interview other guests on the show, and also shed some light onto why I felt so driven to create Tilt in the first place. I hope you enjoyed the show and to learn more about Tilt, the revolution for parents raising atypical kids, visit www.tiltparenting.com.
Who is Debbie Reber and what inspired her to start Tilt Parenting?
Hello Gia. Thank you so much for being my interview today. Oh, I'm so excited. I can't wait. Let's uh let's just dive in then.
How should we get started here? All right. Well, I'm just gonna start off with my first question for you. So I know that you've had lots of different kinds of jobs and been involved in many different kinds of projects over the years. So maybe you could start off with telling us a little bit about your background, where you've worked, what you've created before starting Tilt. Sure.
So my background is kind of all over the place, so I will summarize it so I don't bore people listening here. But my background started in video production and working in children's media. So I spent many years in my twenties living in New York and I was working for some nonprofit organizations and relief organizations like UNICEF. I worked with UNICEF headquarters for four years with CARE, which is a relief and development organization. Organization. And then I moved on to working for Nickelodeon, where I worked on the show Blues Clues. So I was always kind of in the, I guess I called it the pro-social media space, kind of doing work that felt important to me from a social perspective, but also creative and production-oriented.
And after Blues Clues, I took a job with Cartoon Network. I I had just gotten married and my husband and I wanted to try a new city and try LA and and I I got this job with Cartoon Network Studios that brought us to LA and I developed cartoons for them for a couple of years. It was a little bit of a a different job and different role for me.
