  • Toxic positivity isn’t helpful

    Many of us ARE disabled by our autism, and it’s very invalidating to hear how it’s a “superpower”.

  • Gentle and life affirming words for turbulent, frightening times

    I found Julie’s podcast after purchasing the “Best You, Best Life” bundle by Tiny Buddha (Lori Deschene). Both of these thoughtful, empathetic women have given me a soft place to land in a time where I feel adrift in a world full of misery and suffering.

    I just listened to my first episode of Julie‘s podcast, about the importance of looking for (and absorbing) life’s glimmers of joy. It was like wrapping myself in a cozy blanket and listening to a friend who truly understands me. Thank you, Ju... more

  • Great Podcast!

    This is truly a five star podcast and I highly recommend it for anyone who not only identifies as being highly sensitive and/or neurodivergent, but also folks who want to learn more about the sensitive and neurodivergent experience. As an HSP (highly sensitive person), when I listen to Julie’s podcasts, I feel seen and understood in ways I never have before. For those of us who have spent a great deal of our lives trying to be someone who we are not, Julie’s advice is “Believe in your own experi... more
