There is a kind of clarity that only arrives once you stop forcing yourself to work in ways that do not fit your brain.In this episode, I sit down with Evita Lammes, a consultant whose career began to shift the moment she started understanding her own wiring. Evita talks about growing up in environments that did not make sense to her, feeling bored or overwhelmed by repetition, and struggling to keep up with rules that felt unclear or illogical. She shares how exploring giftedness, sensitivity, autism traits, and ADHD traits helped her finally make sense of her patterns. We discuss how she now builds her work around what fits her brain, why honesty has become her way of creating psychological safety, and how understanding her wiring changed the way she leads, communicates, and builds relationships.If you have ever felt confused by your own reactions or out of place in systems that seem effortless for others, this conversation is a reminder that nothing about your brain is wrong. There is a way of working that can finally work for you.Episode Highlights: 00:00 Neurodivergent Labels and Self-Discovery06:09 Struggles and Strengths of a Neurodivergent Mind19:11 Moving Beyond People Pleasing28:44 Word Finding Difficulties29:22 Burnout and Overworking30:17 Working in Sprints33:31 Psychological Safety and Honest CommunicationConnect with Evita Lammeshttps://www.studio-samen.nl/https://www.instagram.com/wijzijnstudiosamenhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/76478608/ Connect with Mehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/aniahulsman/https://www.aniahulsman.com If this episode spoke to you, please consider subscribing and leaving a review.
