Marriage is work, fun and can be a dream. It can also be tough and feel like you are walking into a minefield. When two different personality types get involved, it can really test the strength of a marriage. What happens when one spouse is neurodivergent and the other is neurotypical?  Can having ADHD really ruin a marriage?

 

 Today’s episode with clinical psychologist Dr. Bryan, my favorite ADHD Tik Tok-er, has exploded into the Tik Tok universe by giving life and empathy to what it is like to have ADD. Who better than to talk about the dynamics of being neurodivergent in a marriage?! Is it really ruining my marriage? Tune in to find out!

Today’s the day you can give yourself permission to be the person you always wanted to be. Want tools on how to become more self-compassionate? Does the very thought of giving yourself grace give you hives? This episode is just for you.

Season 04 Episode 05: Call Me By My Name 

Women who evolve are the ones that know how they can truly have it all. We may not have it all at the same time but we are present enough to know WHEN we have it.

Today’s episode is with a fellow podcast host from the Us. Them. We. Podcast. Crystal Stampley did not come to PLAY!!  We had such a refreshing and honest conversation on what it means to be a woman.

This 3 part series illuminates what it means to be seen as a woman in the workplace and how we parlay that into how we are seen at home as a wife and mother. This first installation does not disappoint.
