Beyond the T-Shirt: Elyse Robbins’ Personal Memoir

by | Jun 9, 2025

In this powerful episode of The Mindset Playground, we sit down with new author and certified neurodivergent coach Elyse Robbins to explore the deeply personal and transformative themes in her debut memoir, Beyond the T-Shirt.

At just 12 years old, Elyse stood at the edge of a pool wearing a t-shirt over her bathing suit—a small moment that sparked a lifetime of shrinking herself to fit into a world that demanded it. Today, she’s rewriting that narrative.
We talk about:
• Overcoming internalized shame and body stigma
• How weight bias and labels from childhood shaped her identity
• Navigating motherhood and neurodivergence with strength and purpose
• Her mission to create radically inclusive spaces where no one has to shrink to belong

Elyse shares the raw truth behind her healing journey—from being misdiagnosed by the medical system to finding her voice as an author and advocate. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt like they were too much—or not enough—for the spaces they inhabit.

Whether you’re on your own path to self-acceptance or looking to better understand the impact of stigma, this episode offers wisdom, warmth, and a call to action.

Tune in now to be inspired by Elyse’s story of liberation, healing, and purposeful advocacy.
