What does it take to build a business—and a workplace—that truly honors human brains, human differences, and human dignity? In this powerful episode of Live Well, Earn Well, guest host Donna Lynn Price sits down with Brooke Garren, autistic + ADHD therapist, founder of Uniquely You Behavioral Health and Affirming Minds Coaching & Consulting. Brooke is a visionary leader reshaping how organizations understand neurodiversity—from the inside out.
What started as a solo therapy office has grown into a $100K/month, values-driven group practice serving hundreds of neurodivergent clients. Now, through Affirming Minds, Brooke helps schools, nonprofits, private practices, HR departments, and leadership teams create research-based, neurodiversity-affirming systems that actually work for the humans inside them.
In this insightful interview, Brooke shares:
-
How leading with neurodivergent lived experience transformed her business
-
Why most "inclusion efforts" fail—and what truly affirming systems require
-
The strategies she used to grow her practice far beyond industry norms
-
What organizations must understand about nervous system regulation, masking, and accessibility
-
Her journey of unmasking, delegating, scaling, and stepping fully into the visionary CEO role
-
The future of leadership—and why neurodiversity-affirming models are the future of work
If you're a coach, consultant, leader, educator, or founder who wants to build a business that feels good, works well, and supports the humans inside it, this episode will change the way you think about culture, systems, and sustainable growth.
