@Elevateitpodcastย  In this episode of the Elevate IT Podcast, host Christian takes you on a transformative journey of self-discovery. We discuss how life's challenges can dim our light and the importance of shining through them. Special guest Lauren Mendes, a behavior consultant and advocate for the neuro diverse community, shares her inspiring story of overcoming ADHD and emerging stronger.


Lauren reflects on her journey with ADHD, the challenges in school, and the power of self-advocacy. She emphasizes embracing authenticity and showing up as your true self, even on difficult days. We explore the importance of understanding our unique learning styles, self-acceptance, and teaching others how to treat us.


Lauren also discusses the vulnerability of advocating for oneself, dealing with rejection, and the importance of emotional grace. She reminds us that it's okay to feel, reflect, and grow.


Join us for a heartfelt conversation about resilience, authenticity, and the power to shine despite challenges. Follow Lauren on social media to continue the conversation and support her advocacy work. Thank you for tuning in!
