24 - What is Neurodiversity?


Listen Later

Author Alisa Kennedy Jones woke up to a seemingly normal day, oblivious to the fact that it was the last day of her "normal" life...

No stranger to tough jobs, Alisa had worked hard to build a thriving career as a copywriter and brand strategist for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, General Electric, Coca-Cola, Disney, and Marvel. Yet, as she headed out the door, her vision swirled and she lost all ability to control her face.

Diagnosis? Epilepsy. And courage.

We sit down to hear how she's championing a new approach to how we see ourselves and the world around us – through Neurodiversity.
