In this episode, I delve into the realms of creativity with Rebecca Heidt, an accomplished LGBTQ writer and artist. Rebecca shares insights on her self-published 'ACCEPTANCE' series and her work on a feature film, 'Secret of the Warrior.' As an advocate for neurodivergence, Rebecca and I discuss her
creative processes, challenges, and how neurodivergent wisdom informs her work.
She talks about the importance of self-awareness in her storytelling, particularly within the LGBTQ community, and emphasizes the empowerment found in creative expression. The conversation also touches on Rebecca's passion for
anthropology and Scandinavian mythology, her approach to tackling societal expectations, and the practical aspects of filmmaking.
