  • Kathy Takes Over – No More Listening Mode for Steve!

    Kathy Takes Over – No More Listening Mode for Steve!
    Nov 14 2025
    What happens when a former guest takes the mic and flips the script? In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, Kathy Caruso returns to Finding Common Ground — but this time, she’s running the show.

    Host Steve Gonyea finds himself in the hot seat as Kathy digs deep into his story, his “why,” and what drives his advocacy as a dad. With Heather chiming in from the sidelines (and occasionally fanning the flames), this takeover turns into one of the most revealing and entertaining episodes yet.

    Expect laughter, honesty, and a few moments that’ll make you think twice about what happens when we let go of control and truly open up.

    Tune in, share your favorite quote from the episode, and tag us with your thoughts — we love hearing how these conversations resonate with you!

  • Autism Dad & Paramedic: Prep for Emergencies

    Autism Dad & Paramedic: Prep for Emergencies
    Oct 30 2025
    How many times have you had to educate the people trying to help your child with autism?

    In this episode of Finding Common Ground, Steve talks with Matt Yelton, a paramedic, flight medic, and autism dad who lives and breathes this reality every day. When emergencies happen, Matt has been on both sides — the parent advocating for his child, and the first responder called to help.

    He shares how his personal experiences inspired him to train first responders across New York to recognize when behaviors are rooted in autism, not defiance and how families can prepare before a crisis ever happens.

    “The best thing you can do at the start of the school year is figure out who these kids are and talk to their educators, talk to their families, learn what makes them tick.”

    You’ll also hear:

    What to do before a crisis so first responders are ready to help your child

    Why dads need to be part of the advocacy conversation

    How real change happens when parents and professionals learn from each other

    This one will leave you better prepared and more hopeful about the helpers who show up when it matters most.

    Listen now on YouTube, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app, and join us in Finding Common Ground between families and first responders.
