How is your relationship with your children? Parents? It is very important to do the work of family. Family matters more than you know. To that end, let’s talk. Then, we are going to provide tools for you to use and invite special guests to discuss your issues. My issues. Our issues.

The Diagnostic Train: How Parents—Without Knowing—Put Their Children on the Tracks of a Profit System

What if your child’s diagnosis isn’t just about behavior—but about business?


In this powerful episode, Instructor Mike unpacks the billion-dollar pipeline that thrives on pathologizing Black and low-income children through labels like ADHD, ODD, and IEPs. From pediatricians to school psychologists, from behavioral techs to pharmaceutical contracts—this system depends on your misunderstanding of child development.


We break down:

• Why certain children get labeled faster—and what those labels lead to

• How schools become profit centers through diagnostic coding

• The role of well-meaning but under-trained parents and educators

• Chicago Public Schools’ layoffs as proof the profit model is cracking

• And how YOU, the parent, are often unknowingly flipping the switch


This episode isn’t just an exposé. It’s a roadmap. Because once you understand the system, you don’t have to comply with it.


🎧 Tune in and take your child off the diagnostic train—before it reaches the last stop.
