What happens when a society decides your value is measured solely by what you produce?
In this thought-provoking conversation, Helena St. George explores the chilling premise behind her novel Shattered but Not Silenced—a dystopian world where productivity determines survival. Drawing from her lived experience as a parent of neurodivergent children, Helena unpacks the emotional, political, and human stakes behind systems that prioritize output over humanity.
This episode dives deep into autonomy, advocacy, quiet resistance, and what it truly means to be valued as a person—not a function.
