What if the world isn’t built for how you think? And what if that’s not a problem—but a superpower?

In this powerful episode, Bree and Angie sit down with 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐫 to unpack the complexity, beauty, and challenges of neurodivergence in the legal world.

We cover:

◈ Defining what it means to be neurodivergent (and why it’s not just about diagnoses).

◈ How sensitivity, perception, and communication differ across neurotypes.

◈ The pressure to “mask” in legal spaces—and how to find empowerment instead.

◈ Why empathy and environment matter more than you think.

💬 Whether you’re ND yourself or want to better support your colleagues, this one’s for you. What resonated most? Let’s talk in the comments.
