In this episode, I share some of the areas of life where I’m working on forgiving myself, now that I know I’m autistic and an HSP.

• I talk about: – Things I found (and still find) hard—like directions, driving, and cooking
• Struggles with relationships and the path I’ve taken
• Not having children
• Not “acing” my early career, despite being bright
• The many coping strategies I developed—masking, addiction, people-pleasing, binge eating—and how I’m learning to meet them with compassion

Forgiveness isn’t always easy, especially when we’ve been misunderstood or judged for who we are. But it’s possible—and deeply freeing.

If you’re walking this road too, I hope this helps you feel seen.
