I spent my life waiting for the moment everything would finally make sense.
A spider bite. A transformation. Proof that I wasn’t broken - just becoming.
Instead, I became the person who walked every path that wasn’t meant for them.
The rebel. The truth-teller. The one who felt too much, gave too much, burned out, rebuilt, and did it all over again.
I healed my trauma. I built communities. I held everyone else with care I never learned to give myself.
And even in my most stable, grounded season… something still felt missing.
This episode is something different - it is about that missing piece. It’s about growing up feeling out of sync with the world. About being told you’re too much and not enough at the same time.
About loving deeply, feeling intensely, thinking relentlessly - and never finding the off switch. It’s about late discovery. About realizing that what you called rebellion, sensitivity, chaos, or a “broken personality” had a name all along.
Autism and ADHD.
No dramatic transformation. No green goo. No curse lifted. Just clarity.
And with it, compassion - for the past versions of yourself who were trying so hard to survive in a world not built for them.
If you’ve ever felt like:
you don’t fit into the life everyone else seems to understand
healing didn’t make you feel whole
your brain feels like both a superpower and a curse
you were made for something more, but didn’t know what …
This is for you. You were never broken. You were never wrong. You were always whole. And if no one’s told you yet - I see you. ✨
