4. Olivia Acuff

Sam welcomes her listeners back to Cerebro Therapy: Small Talk and to the third part of a mini-series focused on the intersectionality of dwarfism and mental health in 2023. In this episode, Sam welcomes Olivia Acuff to the recording studio. Olivia and Sam spend their hour together discussing some hard issues and concerning behaviors that are prevalent in the LP community and especially at the annual conferences. Sam and Olivia talk about the positives that come with being located near to a fellow LP amidst a sea of average-height (AH) peers. They discuss how in-person connection with another person facing similar struggles as them played a significant role in their development as working professionals. Both having been born into AH families, Olivia and Sam reminisce on what that experience was like and advice they would offer to AH parents of LP infants today.
