Also, Everything.

October 15th marks what would be my 15th wedding anniversary. In this unscripted episode, I offer my experience on the other side of separation, for any woman who is considering ending her marriage.

The truth about feeling both relief and grief, compassion for my younger self, and the pain of realizing I have to heal from my former partner, while holding no regret about leaving.

I reflect on why I chose the hard and painful path of divorce, what it gave back to me and my children, and why I would choose it again.

It's back to school season and in this episode, Phyllis shares a simple two-page “quick guide” she created to quickly help teachers and other adults better support her neurodivergent child. After years of trying different schooling options, she designed a visual, high-impact handout that’s easy for busy educators to read and remember. It can even be used beyond school with therapists, caregivers, babysitters, and family.

It's been almost a year since our last episode-- today, we get a quick look into the podcast's pivot from Neuropositive to Also, Everything including Phyllis' big life updates that inspired the change and what to expect from the show going forward.
