Today we’re being curious about giftedness, which is a form of neurodivergence. I speak with Jennifer Harvey Sallin, a gifted-specific psychologist, assessor and trainer, and founder of InterGifted. We talk about what it’s like to be a gifted adult and what gifted adults need to know in order to navigate the world.

Rebecca is a unique voice hoping to advocate for her community and spread positive awareness of conditions such as EDS, hyperphantasia, autism, and other “invisible” disabilities.

145 | auDHD & Weight Loss
Today we're being curious about body image and weight loss and neurodivergence and how these things intersect and affect each other!
Note: I'm not speaking from any kind of academic or research-based perspective. This is all just my lived experience and what I am currently going through.
P.S. If this isn't the kind of thing you're super comfortable listening to or if this is going to be triggering for you, I really encourage you to just skip this episode. However, I do want to be clear, I will not be using any numbers of any kind. Instead, I'm mostly going to be talking about the emotions that go into making any kind of big lifestyle change and the pushback I'm experiencing from my brain and the executive dysfunction.

✨ autistic traits that may contribute to my friendship struggles
✨ platonic love

138 | auDHD & Workaholism
Today we’re talking about auDHD & workaholism! As an autistic ADHDer myself, I work a lot and not only do I work a lot, I love to work. This is not all bad, but it's definitely not all good either. Let’s dig into both sides of this, why this happens, and how we can find some balance when it feels like our brains aren’t really wired for balance.

137 | Being In a Relationship With Someone Who’s Neurodivergent (And You’re Not), with Adam
Today we’re talking to…my husband! A lot of you have asked how our relationship works with me being neurodivergent and him not being neurodivergent…so I figured who better to ask than him.
We discuss:
- how he feels about some of my ADHD traits and symptoms, like the inability to accurately perceive time, and impulsivity
- how our concept of self differs
- and how the quote “you miss the forest for the trees” is an interesting metaphor for how our perspectives on details and the big picture differ

The enneagram is so much more than your basic, everyday personality test. Unlike most other personality typing systems, the enneagram is defined not just by what you do, but by why you do it.
My job as an enneagram coach is to show you how the enneagram can help you better understand yourself, AND the ways in which it simply cannot capture your multitudes. Let’s take a closer look, together.
➡️ Join my free Discord community for The Radical Enneagram! You can come hang out with other enneagram enthusiasts, connect with people who share your type, and ask me your enneagram questions.

133 | Framing ADHD as a Superpower, with Adrina and Marissa of Black Girl ADHD
Today we’re talking with Adrina and Marissa, the co-founders of Black Girl ADHD. We discuss their personal experiences with ADHD, including their journey to diagnosis, how understanding themselves on a deeper level has improved their lives, and the stigma and lack of awareness about ADHD, especially in the black community. They emphasize the importance of seeking answers - not to make excuses, but to build on your toolbox of just surviving and not only surviving but thriving through your diagnosis, understanding that there is nothing wrong with having ADHD, and using it as a superpower.

127 | Strategies for Coping with Decision Fatigue, with Kelsey Silver
Today we’re talking with Kelsey Silver, founder and CEO of The Neurospicy CEO, about decision fatigue. Decision fatigue is when your environment has created a space where every decision takes so much energy out of you that you no longer have the energy to make that next decision. (Like, what’s for dinner?) Kelsey and I talk through different strategies for coping with decision fatigue, and ways to streamline your decisions. Because the more you eliminate decisions in your life, the more space and spoons you will have for the decisions that not only matter, but also feed you, and get you excited.

123 | Listener Favorites: Executive Dysfunction is Real, Laziness is Not
Note: This is a rebroadcast of episode 096. I am on maternity leave through October.
This week, I thought I would share with you my presentation from The Neurodivergent Lived Experience Summit, all about executive dysfunction and laziness.
This presentation was definitely inspired by the book Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price, which I cannot recommend highly enough.

I also wanted to use this as an opportunity to remind people that autism is a spectrum and what the word spectrum means. Whether or not you feel that you fit a stereotype, you can still be autistic. 💙

112 | PMDD, ADHD & the Menstrual Cycle, with Katilyn
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains some discussion of self-harm. We don’t go into graphic detail, but it is discussed. If you’re not in a headspace to hear this kind of content right now, I encourage you to save this episode and come back to it at a later time, or simply skip this episode altogether.
Today we’re talking to Kaitlyn Signorelli of Confidently ADHD & Kaitlyn Signorelli Coaching to talk about ADHD and the menstrual cycle. We begin our talk discussing Kaitlyn’s experience with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and later, how they’ve learned to make accommodations in their life to cope with the ways the menstrual cycle affects their ADHD symptoms. By knowing your symptoms shift as your hormones shift during your menstrual cycle, you can: (1) start to pay attention to it to see how it looks and shows up in your life, (2) you can start to take control of it, so it doesn’t feel as chaotic anymore, and (3) you can start to accept and embrace that there’s no shame in how you’re feeling - because there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with you, your brain chemistry is literally changing throughout the month.

111 | “Female Autism” & the Genderization of Neurodivergence
Today we’re talking about the idea of “female autism” and the genderization of neurodivergence in general, and why I think it’s problematic and unhelpful.
Quick acknowledgment: There are many presentations of autism. This discussion is not meant to dismiss anyone’s presentation of autism or neurodivergence. This discussion is meant to provide some nuance and context for why it can be problematic and unhelpful to categorize something as female vs male when it comes to neurodivergence.

110 | Early-Diagnosis Is Not Always a Saving Grace, with Ember
In today's episode of the podcast, I talk with Ember about their early ADHD diagnosis and how it didn't save them the way so many late-diagnosed folks imagine early diagnosis should. The truth is, there's a difference between diagnosis and acceptance. And so many late-diagnosed folks wish they'd been diagnosed earlier because they imagine it automatically comes with acceptance, but as Ember describes in this episode, that's not always the case. If you were diagnosed earlier in life and feel a bit left out by the whole late-diagnosed neurodivergent movement, this episode is for you. I hope you feel seen and heard and understood.
