Listen "23: I See Neurodivergent People: Does More Awareness Lead to More Compassion?"

Episode Synopsis

Is this generation more tuned in to how other people's brains work? Once you've been diagnosed with a type of neurodivergence, you tend to notice it out in society more clearly. And from our experiences, it leads to more compassionate responses when you see someone who is flooded, distressed, masking, etc. In this episode we explore neurospicy indicators, interpersonal communication, love languages, setting boundaries, and how sometimes there is a disconnect between intent and how something is received. That said, our intent with this episode is to help everyone live in more harmony by understanding and owning their own sh*t!
