• Be Yourself No Matter What They Say
    Jan 16 2026

    This podcast is all about discovering strength in neurodiversity, covering ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), ADHD, and other forms of neurodiversity. The central theme is being yourself, no matter what others say, and embracing your differences as abilities. It aims to help you live authentically, even in a world that may not always understand or accept you.

    The podcast shares personal experiences, offering tools for self-acceptance and empowerment. It encourages you to own your neurodiversity before others define it, transforming any anger or frustration into a sense of purpose.

    Neurodiversity is a source of creativity, innovation, and unique perspectives, which enriches the world.

  • Traffic Lights, Wedding and How to Ask Important Questions
    Nov 27 2025

    In this episode I am looking at the importance of considering the audience. How do we ask important questions? Are we aware of our neurodiversity and others when we do? This is covered with a life example from the time that I asked a friend to be the witness of my wedding, before I knew that I had ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and how the experience went. I bring the analogy of traffic lights to explain the importance of empathy and context.
