In this episode, we talk honestly about what it’s like to grow up neurodivergent in a system built for one kind of learner. From being labeled “lazy” or “unmotivated” to quietly carrying the belief that something must be wrong with you, we unpack the moments school missed — and the impact that still lingers into adulthood.
This isn’t a teacher-bashing conversation. It’s a real one.
About effort without understanding.
About kids trying their best without the language to explain why it wasn’t working.
And about what changes when we finally name the difference between not trying and not being supported.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in school — as a student, a parent, or an educator — this conversation is for you.
