What happens when the beliefs you were raised with no longer fit the person you’re becoming?
In this deeply honest conversation, Jo and I explore the complicated journey of religious deconstruction, identity, neurodivergence, parenting, and learning to question the roles we were taught to play. We talk about growing up within rigid belief systems, the impact leaving organized religion can have on marriage and family, and what it means to rebuild your life around authenticity instead of expectation.
We also dive into neurodivergence, masking, gender roles, and the unique challenges of raising neurodivergent children in a world that often values conformity over creativity. Jo shares insights on coaching, self-regulation, and why supporting parents is just as important as supporting children.
This episode is for anyone navigating faith shifts, questioning old narratives, parenting differently, or learning who they are underneath years of conditioning.
We discuss:
✨ Religious upbringing and faith deconstruction
✨ Marriage, identity shifts, and rebuilding beliefs
✨ Neurodivergence, masking, and gender expectations
✨ Parenting neurodivergent children with compassion and regulation
✨ Technology’s impact on kids and families
✨ Creativity, self-care, and thriving outside traditional boxes
✨ Raising the next generation with more freedom and understanding
If you’ve ever wondered, Who am I without the rules? this conversation may resonate deeply.
