Artist, educator, nonprofit leader, and author Irma Velasquez is dedicated to living from a place of presence and connection—especially in the face of adversity. Her life’s work is rooted in the ongoing journey of bridging inner and outer divides, often through turbulent terrain. Through the arts and spiritual practices, she has found ways to stay grounded, meet hardship with grace, and transform pain into purpose. Her life lessons are something we can all learn from.

Irma’s story is one of resilience and renewal. She has faced and navigated barriers in the education, medical and social structures with fierce love and unwavering hope. Her memoir about her autistic child, “Fish Dreams: A Mother’s Journey from Curing Her Son from Autism to Loving Him as He Is“, reveals a deep personal and spiritual transformation—one that moves from fixing to accepting, from struggle to spaciousness.

This episode is for all of us, seeking inspiration in the human journey and some of the life lessons that go with it.
