Different, not broken

You're not supposed to be here and other Dad wisdom


Listen Later

The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold.

In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion.

He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault.

We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded.

I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered.

You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.
