  • Re-traumatizing for a Neurodivergent Survivor of Abuse

Many instances of abuse were due to intolerance and severe, sometimes corporal, punishment of my neurodivergence in church and school settings. I was literally told that I thought wrong. I started to listen to this podcast in the hopes of improving communication skills in my mostly healthy marriage. My husband is very caring, and he loves me as I am. Sometimes we get our wires crossed. We’r... more

  • Extreme Christian bias

    I'm a religious person. I don't have a problem with religion being talked about in any context. However, all the guests I've heard who have a religious referent are Christian, and that's not okay. Let's hear from some Jews, Jains, Heathens, and Hindus. It's really distracting to those of us who are neurodivergent and religious but have zero relationship with Jesus.

  • So helpful

    I am so grateful to have found Jodi to help me gain insights into my neurodivergent husband, my own perceptions being neurotypical, and our relationship dynamics. While my husband isn’t ready to learn alongside me yet, this podcast and the website have already helped me gain understanding and empathy towards my spouse.
