She's So Lucky

Embracing Neurodivergence & Developing Squiggly-Brained Systems with Janelle Pearson

Listen Later

We often put so much pressure on ourselves to think and work in a strictly linear way. But so many of us just aren’t wired like that! And despite what we may believe, it doesn’t doom us to a life we don’t love.

So in this episode, we’re continuing with our Mindset May series and talking about staying balanced in life when you’re neuro-spicy with Janelle Pearson.

Janelle is an actress and community manager at one of my favorite companies—Holisticism. Together, we talk about living life with squiggly brains that don’t like to cooperate with the status quo.

We Also Talk About…

  • Squiggly brains and why they’re a super power
  • Navigating the shame and stigma around taking medication
  • Doing the work for seven generations back and forward
  • The necessity of community in the healing process
  • Systems and processes that have helped Janelle
  • Setting up your life to be in flow with flexible systems
