Enlightening Motherhood

Ep158 - You Were Born With This Brain for a Reason: Finding Purpose in Neurodivergence


Listen Later

Ever feel like your brain is just too much — too chaotic, too forgetful, too overwhelming to manage? Especially when you're parenting neurodivergent kids with your own neurodivergent brain?

In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Emily's podcast cohost, Ashley, shares what changed when she stopped seeing her brain as a burden and started seeing its purpose.

Through real stories, emotional insight, and mindset shifts, she shows how acknowledging the hard can actually lead us to discovering the strengths in our wiring — like deep empathy, creativity, determination, and fierce advocacy.

Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or love someone who is, this episode offers encouragement, validation, and a new perspective on what’s possible when we embrace our brains instead of battling them.
