Thursday Jun 26, 2025
Thursday Jun 26, 2025
What if inclusion wasn’t just the “right thing” to do but a smarter business move? In this episode of BizBlend, Sana sits down with Brooke Garren—neurodivergent entrepreneur, licensed clinical social worker, and founder of Uniquely You Behavioral Health and Affirming Minds Coaching & Consulting. Together, they unpack why inclusive companies don’t just feel better—they perform better. From retention and innovation to leadership and bottom-line growth, Brooke shares a compelling case for why businesses should stop masking difference and start designing for it. If you think DEI is a checkbox, this episode will challenge everything you know.
