If you’ve ever wondered why advice alone doesn’t help—or why you can know what to do but still feel stuck—this episode is for you.

Today, Shannon untangles the difference between coaching and strategy and explores what real, meaningful support actually feels like—especially for neurodivergent brains.

You’ll hear why “just try harder” never tells the full story, how to recognize when support is working, and why the sweet spot happens when coaching and strategy work together.

✨ Whether you’ve felt burned by “bad support” in the past or you’re craving tools that actually stick, this conversation will help you rethink what support should look and feel like.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode
