Welcome Back to The Neurodivergent Lounge!

https://voiceandvisionconsulting.com/ The Neurodivergent Season Finale: Choose Yourself This is it—the season finale of The NeuroDivergent Lounge. In this deeply personal episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey: discovering I'm autistic and have ADHD, leaving a marriage that was really a trauma loop, and finally understanding why my nervous system felt like my own worst enemy. For years, I thought I was "too sensitive." Turns out, I was just finally starting to understand myself. This episode is about the moment everything shifted—when I stopped trying to fix myself and started choosing myself. I share what therapy uncovered, why finding out I was neurodivergent made me feel powerful (not limited), and what's next as I step into this new chapter with my consulting business and my book. If you've ever felt like you're too much, too sensitive, or just fundamentally wrong—this one's for you. --- ## 🎯 Key Takeaways • I learned I'm autistic and have ADHD • My nervous system became my own enemy • I wasn't leaving a marriage; I was leaving a trauma loop • Finding out I was neurodivergent didn't make me feel limited; it made me feel powerful • Therapy helped me uncover my true self • I wish I had my book 20 years ago • This podcast has helped me speak my truth • I'm excited about my new consulting business • You are not too sensitive; you're finally understanding yourself • Choose yourself ---
