This podcast consistently challenges deficit based narratives and offers language and perspectives that actually support unmasking, self trust, and systemic change... more

  • Woo-Hoo!

    I’m 61 and I was diagnosed bipolar in 2009. I recently changed therapists and she has opened my eyes to my own Neurodivergence! Of ADHD and Autism. Irony! I was a Special Ed teacher and worked with K-8 kids with Autism! My masks are thick and I’m looking forward to peeling some of them away. This is blowing my mind! And It’s all starting to make sense NOW!

    I am frustrated that this discovery was made so late in life but I’m looking forward to exploring my unique brain and embracing the poss... more

  • Horray! 🌻🧠🌈

    Loved this podcast ever since my mom recommended it, and had it recommended by my best friend’s mom.

    Anyone else feel like “neurodiverse” sounds less negative then neuroDIVERGENT? Or is that just me?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Myth of the Uncoachable Athlete
Q: How should coaches distinguish between motivation and activation in practice or games?
Recognize that being motivated to do something does not always translate to taking action; adjust coaching to facilitate activation, for example by altering the environment or support structures to bridge the gap between intention and action.
The Myth of the Uncoachable Athlete
Q: What is one practical first step coaches can take to support neurodivergent athletes?
Begin by getting curious about the athlete's perspective and how the environment or instructions may be creating barriers, then work collaboratively with parents and the athlete to adjust approaches rather than assuming disinterest or lack of ability.
The Wall of Awful: Why Starting Feels Impossible
Q: Tell us about putting the door in the wall and how that fits with the other metaphors?
Putting the door involves shaping the emotional state to move past the barrier, using the Erpawin-Cacaw model to move toward greater certainty and agency so the task can be tackled.
The Wall of Awful: Why Starting Feels Impossible
Q: Can you give us a quick version of what The Wall of Awful is and why it resonates so strongly with neurodivergent people?
The Wall of Awful represents the accumulation of negative emotions that must be navigated before engaging with a task, explaining why people may appear lazy; recognizing this emotional labor validates the experience and offers a framework for addressing it.
Learning Differences And Emotional Well-Being Aren't Separate, and Here's Why
Q: How do you define executive functioning?
Executive functioning encompasses a set of skills including organization, planning, time management, working memory, and emotion regulation that enable someone to set and achieve goals, and difficulties in these areas can significantly impact learning tasks like writing.
