#38 Uncletics — Tourette’s, Stigma & Learning to Back Yourself

This week, Dave sits down with Leighton Clarke — better known as Uncletics — for a raw and honest kōrero about owning who you are. From growing up in the King Country and navigating school with tourettes, to building a powerful online community without toning himself down for anyone — Leighton shares what it’s taken to fully back himself. They talk about stigma, being accused of faking it, online backlash, and why trying to please everyone is a losing game. Leighton doesn’t shrink himself to make others comfortable — and that’s exactly why so many people connect with him. It’s funny, confronting, heartfelt, and real.
